BIO
Andrew Machovec


I’m a scenic designer and technical director who has spent the past eight years bringing ambitious ideas from the drawing board to the stage. My work is grounded in the belief that strong design comes from understanding how a production is built, installed, and operated. I enjoy working where creative vision meets technical execution.
Through my work with RWS Global, I’ve helped deliver entertainment and live experiences for the Medora Musical, Hersheypark, Story Land, the Los Angeles Zoo, and the World Fencing League. Working across theater, themed entertainment, and live sports has strengthened my ability to lead teams, solve problems on site, and guide complex productions from concept through opening.
I earned a degree in Theater from the University of Notre Dame, alongside supplemental studies in Pre-Health. While in school, I worked with professional mentors in scenic design, lighting, and technical production, and led projects involving teams of up to 100 people. I was also a scholarship fencer, helping Notre Dame win two NCAA national championships and qualifying twice for a United States World Team. Those experiences shaped the focus, collaboration, and determination I bring to every production.
I’m also a founder of STUFF’D Brands, a character and product company inspired by the foods and personalities of major U.S. cities. With my co-founders, I’ve helped turn original characters such as Big Apple Benny and Empire Frank into plush toys, bag charms, and keychains. Building STUFF’D gives me another way to tell stories through design and bring an idea to life from start to finish.
