Sound Designer turned Web Developer

about me...

As a sound designer I have had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most cutting edge theater companies in New York city and have designed world premieres such as Steve Martin’s adaptation of the Underpants, John Patrick Shanley’s Dirty Story, along with classics such as The Winter’s Tale starring Oscar-nominee David Strathairn. I am now looking to expand my career beyond the stage. During the past year I took a sabbatical from my design work to focus on becoming a programmer. I just graduated from Dev Bootcamp and am now seeking oportunities to merge my love of music, storytelling, and programming.

BROAD CHANNEL

“Elizabeth Rhodes’ sound design shows her usual facility for selecting exactly the right pop tune to fill out a scene; she also contributes some realistic effects to a scene of breaking and entering.”
- Live Design

DOUBLE INDEMNITY

"The atmosphere comes alive with Stephen Strawbridge’s evocative and shadow engulfed lighting. Elizabeth Rhodes’ subtle and later punctuating sound design and Kwan-Fai-Lam’s original music completes the imagination’s picture."
- Examiner.com

SWEET STORM

“Elizabeth Rhodes’s understated sound design offers textures like distant thunder, the faint din of a passing train and the quiet patter of rain, vividly evoking a sultry, breezy Florida evening on the verge of a tropical storm.”
- New York Times

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

"Tantalo's staging is masterful: nary a prop is used, yet the locales of each of the many scenes are clear and distinct, thanks in large part to Evans's evocative lighting and Elizabeth Rhodes's equally adept sound design."
- NYTheater.com

WASHING MACHINE

“Elizabeth Rhodes' sound design sets the mood, mixing noises...with musical selections ranging from a subtle piano underscoring to the loud blasting of The Who's song, “Teenage Wasteland.”
- Theater Mania

SO GO THE GHOSTS OF MEXICO

“Most Strikingly, the entire production is infused with an anxiety-inducing soundscape (by Elizabeth Rhodes), which alternates among paranormal radio music, the goose-pimply sounds of static and a dull, quickening heartbeat.”
- New York Times

THE DIRTY TALK

“Elizabeth Rhodes' sound design convincingly creates the howling tempest that locks these two men together and keeps them off-balance.”
- Curtian Up

WHITE PEOPLE

“In perfect tandem with the performers are Elizabeth Rhodes’s gently artful sound design and Les Dickert’s evocative lighting.”
- New York Times

DIRTY STORY
