Hi!
I'm Amanda Perrone, a draftsman and artist with an engineering background and a love for theater. I'm looking to combine my technical skills with a passion for design and apply them to inspiring projects within the entertainment industry.
What I Do
Current Work
Currently, I'm based in Las Vegas, Nevada working as a draftsman for Cirque du Soleil's Resident Shows Division. As part of the Production Services Fabrication Shop, I use Solidworks and AutoCAD to design and model pieces for all areas of the company's many different residential shows, including scenic elements, props, rigging and lighting parts, and more.
​
Education
I graduated from University of Florida in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a minor in scenic design, and an Engineering Innovation Certificate. In addition to my classes, I was an active member of Gator Theme Park Engineering & Design Club. With the club, I've worked on several creative design challenges and competitions.
Throughout my college career, I gained experience with Solidworks, AutoCAD, Sketchup, Micerovellum, and MATLAB, with completed certifications in both Solidworks and AutoCAD. Details on my coursework can be seen on my resume.
​
Personal Projects
In my free time, I write, draw, and create costumes. My designs and costuming projects can be seen on my Projects page. I've worked on a lot of concept designs for themed environments and have designed and constructed some of my own original costume ideas. The hobby has introduced me to unique skills such as foamwork, embroidery, pattern-making, and recently 3D modeling in Blender.
