A little bit about me.
Hi! I’m Elizabeth Mak, an interdisciplinary artist and theatrical designer based in Singapore and New York City.
In 2021, I founded Rainshadow Studios to make and support art centered on climate change and the environment.
For my design work, I use my skills as a lighting and multimedia designer to tell stories about social issues.
In all this, I believe in the power of visual, immersive, and experiential storytelling to change mindsets and move hearts to action in our communities.
Download my resumé here. Harvard Magazine also did a profile on me that you can read here.
In 2015, I wrote an artist manifesto. Feel free to peruse it here.
