About

Tilda Mingyo Seo

LA / Seoul / Jeju

Theatre designer and photographer.

I am a Scenic/Lighting Designer and Photographer with a focus on theatre and live performance. I studied at California Institute of the Arts from 2022 and currently enrolled in Experience Design and Production program, double majoring in Scenic Design and Lighting Design.
I am interested in how space and light shape a performance, both in design and through the lens of a camera.

My work involves creative space utilization and CAD drafting, skills I developed while studying Theatre Design.
Alongside my design work, I have been independently photographing performances for the past three years, documenting movement, atmosphere, and storytelling on stage.

Feel free to explore my work, and if you’d like to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out.
