At UNCSA, Patrick has been working his way through his second year of college and finding opportunities to work on different projects. Patrick spent his first year working on a few films as a production designer, but now that he is in his second year, he is focusing on prop making for theater so he can hone in on important skills that he believes will make him better in all capacities. This year Patrick has gained lots of experience working for various shows like The Wild Party, and gained his first lead artisan position on UNCSA’s spring opera Ballymore. He has picked up many new skills in woodworking but has also been working to expand his knowledge in gadgetry and other fabrication techniques by picking up skills like blacksmithing and soldering.
