I’M SKYLAR, BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME SKY
Skylar is a freelance Senior Spatial Designer and creative director, based in Los Angeles, specializing in stage design, large scale art installations, interior design, brand activations and furniture. He largely credits his parents for instilling a deep love for live music, taking him to concerts and festivals throughout his upbringing.
Today, Skylar aims to blend artistic concepts with design and technical expertise. His architectural education at UCLA and 10 years of working experience informs his ability to translate bold ideas into tangible realities. Whether it’s music festival stages with The DoLaB at Coachella or Perron-Roettinger Studio, where he worked on projects for Rihanna, Travis Scott, Skims, and Rosalia, Skylar is constantly inspired by the ways music and architecture can amplify each other. Most recently, his time as Senior Designer at Blue Revolver afforded him the opportunity to lead creative across fashion and retail brands.
