Raquel Sklar

Scenic Designer

I am a scenic designer based in New York City, originally from a small town right outside of D.C. called Takoma Park. I grew up surrounded by diverse cultures, music, and public art, which sparked my passion for storytelling through design. After my brief five summer stunt at being an actor for The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s summer program, I decided my sparkle was too much for the stage to handle and I humbly went behind the curtain to pursue my true passion: scenic design.

I specialize in being able to make captivating, immersive designs for both the stage and film, and I pride myself on my collaboration process as I ensure every department is in sync so we can create a cohesive show. While in school, I decided I needed to expand my knowledge of the arts. This need drove me to Rome where I studied art history and architecture. My time in Rome has deepened my attention to detail and informed my approach to design.

I look forward to the future and am excited to continue my passion for world building as well as exploring new, creative opportunities.
