Born and raised in San Diego, Zoë began studying theater design and production in 2019 at UCLA, where she focused on costume and scenic design. She augmented her design pursuits with explorations in illustration, construction, and a passion for historical research. In addition to her theatrical studies, she also worked as an officer for UCLA’s game development club, ACM Studio.

From her experience in designing content for theater and games, in 2022 Zoë was awarded the Marty Sklar Innovation in Entertainment Fellowship, during which she worked with UCLA’s Center for Research in Engineering, Media, and Performance (REMAP) on concepting a new mixed reality theatrical experience based on The City & The City by China Miéville. 

Zoë prefers to let her various creative exploits inform each other within the world of immersive cross-media entertainment. Whether she is creating interactive experiences or working on her illustrations, Zoë believes in a holistic approach to design.
