Field Tested Designs

Purchase A Conceptual Design

Hiring a program coordinator can be an expensive addition to your design team. If you’re looking for a well coordinated show design, at a fraction of the cost, I can help you out!

These field-tested concepts offer your program a blend of proven success and value. Each concept includes the full design blueprint covering source materials, production sheets, suggestions for uniforms and flags, and prop specifications, all available for immediate purchase and implementation.

You gain a high-impact, competition-ready show that has been refined for effectiveness, supported with expertise and guidance throughout your season from me, a significantly lower cost than commissioning a brand-new custom design.

Looking to purchase the original arrangements to these shows? I can help with that as well.
