about
Bridgette Tran is a scenic designer recently relocated to the Washington, D.C. metro area.
Bridgette possesses a deep love for all aspects of scenic design- from the initial idea to model building, drafting, rendering, and beyond. She strives to prioritizes inclusivity and diversity in her work and in everything she does. Her favorite aspect of design is the psychological— “the spaces we inhabit tell our stories, from each gleaming crystal on a chandelier to each smear of mud tracked along the floor in an entryway. Not only are we creating a world, but discovering it. We are learning it inside and out, understanding it so well that every decision feels natural and right in the grand scheme of the project.” She takes a multi-faceted approach to design work, believing that a focus on dramaturgy and communication is a key step towards creating powerful storytelling, as well as effective representation and a diverse and inclusive theatre community.
Aside from her scene design studies, Bridgette also has a background in fine arts and dance. She takes special interest in immersive experience design, themed entertainment design, and puppetry as well as scenic design.
Bridgette is currently pursuing an MFA in Scenic Design at the University of Maryland. She received her BFA in Scenic Design from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where in 2021, she was awarded the Kenan Excellence Scholarship.
