About Me

Hello and welcome to my design portfolio!

My name is Meili Monk and I am currently attending University California, Irvine as a undergraduate Drama major (Expected Graduation Spring 2025).

I am very passionate about theatrical sound design and always seeking design opportunities.

I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse group of students and staff, who have taught and encouraged me on my design journey. I gained audio experience at Santa Barbara City College, and continued this focus at University California Irvine by sound designing for undergrad-led projects and sound operating for mainstage school productions and the New Swan Shakespeare Festival. I have experience as a sound designer, A1, sound operator, and mixing experience for theatre and music. I also have experience working as a stagehand and in costume dressing with SBCC and I.A.T.S.E.

Please take a look and listen and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for stopping by!
