Florence is a storyteller drawn to the power of setting. A recent graduate of Carleton College with a B.A. in Cinema and Media Studies and minors in Theater Design and Creative Writing, she approaches creative work as a “jack of all trades,” moving fluidly between mediums.

​

Across mediums, Florence is fascinated by how environments shape narrative. Whether designing a stage, imagining a film set, or writing a short story, she treats setting not as a backdrop but as an active force that guides character, mood, and meaning. Her work explores how spaces -- constructed, natural, or unexpected -- can influence the way stories unfold and how audiences experience them.

​

Florence is currently traveling abroad as a Watson Fellow, collaborating with theaters in Greece, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and London on her project, Designing the Invisible Stage, as well as attending international theatre festivals in Scotland, South Korea, and China. Through hands-on work with theater makers and designers, she explores how design can transform spaces and challenge audiences’ perceptions of place.​​
