Sibyl is a Los Angeles based Set Designer. Her interests span design for live performance, installations, and museum exhibitions to design for mental health care initiatives. Her foundation as a theatrical set designer led Sibyl to co-author the book Scene Shift: U.S. Set Designers in Conversation with scenographer Maureen Weiss, published in August of 2023.  The conversations continue with the launch of Scene Shift: The Podcast as of May 2025.

Sibyl has designed for theatrical stages locally and across the country, from A.R.T. to ACT, including Arena Stage, MCC, Theatre for a New Audience, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Lookingglass Theatre Company, Seattle Repertory, Portland Center Stage, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. In the Los Angeles area, she has designed at The Kirk Douglas, the Geffen Playhouse, South Coast Repertory, The Industry LA, Circle X, A Noise Within, The Actors’ Gang and many more. Unique projects have included art installations in SoCal art galleries and museums, such as Sacrifice Zone: LA at the Natural History Museum of LA County and Scene Shift: The Exhibit at the Fisher Museum of Art. Also, check out Eric Idle’s hilarious and star studded ‘What About Dick?’ on Netflix. 

Sibyl teaches set design as an associate professor in the USC School of Dramatic Arts. At USC, she was a 2x grantee of the USC Arts in Action program collaborating with Open Paths Counseling Center, Iovine & Young Academy, and Ottonomy.io. The collaboration titled Peace Pods inspired students across disciplines to design and build flexible ‘pods’ for reflection and self-care. Open Paths Counseling Center has been using two of the Peace Pods at their clinic in Inglewood, CA since 2023.

Aside from teaching at USC, Sibyl has been attending the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space since 2011. She has led workshops and presentations, with Janne Larsen, Shana Cooper, and Maureen Weiss and participated as a panelist in several presentations. It is one Sibyl’s favorite places to be.

Scene Shift: The Exhibit is a chance for the audience to get up close and personal with the work of contemporary scenic designers. Every designer has a different story to tell, sometimes that story is translated into art, and sometimes it is theatre.

Inspired by the book, Scene Shift: US Set Designers in Conversation, the exhibition will feature work by Abigail DeVille, Regina Garcia, Marsha Ginsberg, Shing Yin Khor, Mimi Lien, Collette Pollard, and Deb O among others.
