Story First, Spectacle Second
And entertaining in between.
The phrase “why before how” is a constant driving force for Sousa’s designs and workflows. Asking why media serves a production before determining how creates shows that builds worlds while inviting the audience in. Collaboration with all members of the design team is how a world is built. Sousa strives to be a part of a team and exclude exclusion from live entertainment. Once why has been established, how can begin. Sousa is a life-long learner and is always up to the task of solving how a design can come to fruition. She has spent many years and will spend many more continuing her fluency in industry leading technologies such as disguise, QLab, Blender, Unreal Engine, Adobe Creative Cloud, and more. In between all of this, Sousa enjoys good food, great cocktails, and viewing life as a party.
