“You will be hard pressed to find another designer with the breadth of technical knowledge while willing to get as hands-on involved with all points of the process….Justin’s combination of old-world theatrical scenographic philosophies and techniques coupled with an extensive knowledge of the immediate technological advances in staging practices make Justin a formidable contemporary designer who is also a positive presence in any room.”
