Riley is a New York-based Scenic Designer and Artist.

Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Riley has always had a deep love and passion for the arts. She began working in theater in high school, where she developed her painting skills, and went on to earn her B.F.A. in Design from Missouri State University. Set design has always been her dream career, drawn to its tangible storytelling and the endless opportunities for creative problem-solving alongside other talented collaborators. She strives for her art to capture the way she views the world around her and reflects her lived experiences.

Riley is currently pursuing her M.F.A. in Set Design at Brooklyn College, where she also serves as an Adjunct Professor for Scenic Painting and Properties Construction. This summer, she will return to Dorset Theatre Festival as the Properties Supervisor.
