AMP is a collective founded by Christine Jones and Brett J. Banakis to amplify, give support, and give visibility to emerging and underrepresented designers through equitable collaborations.

AMP will feature a different designer joining Christine and Brett on each project designed by this collective.

AMP believes that in order for an emerging designer to thrive, it is essential to not only offer space and opportunity, but to provide the support and tools to be successful within those opportunities and beyond.

AMP uses the term “Scenography” to reflect how as scenic designers we create the "ography" of the physical space. The “graph" in Scenography means "to write’.” We are visual storytellers working in collaboration with the entire creative team to shape how the characters progress through space, and how the environment evolves over time from the beginning to the end of the show.
