Omar Ramos has designed lighting, sound, and video for theatre, dance, opera, and film. His design and associate design credits from across the U.S. include the Goodman Theatre and Chicago Shakespeare Theater (Chicago), McCarter Theatre Center (Princeton, NJ), Oregon Shakespeare Festival (Ashland), and San Diego Repertory Theatre. He has collaborated on numerous dance and movement pieces with Wallpaper Performance Company, PADL West, and UC Riverside faculty and experimental choreography students. In 2022, he was recognized by the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival National Awards Committee for his video design on Brown Face by Carissa Atallah. Prior to his appointment at CSUF, Ramos taught courses for both undergraduates and graduates at UC Irvine and UC San Diego. Ramos received his Master of Fine Arts degree in Theatre Design with a dual focus in lighting and sound from the University of California, San Diego. He is most interested in work that outreaches to children, veterans, survivors of domestic abuse, and their families. He also gravitates to work that sheds light on the politics of race and serves LGBT+ communities. More information about his work can be found at omarramosdesign.com

Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion:

I am dedicated to the crafting of a community of individuals with diverse backgrounds and life experiences, free of discrimination based on racial and ethnic origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, social economic status, or religious belief. I acknowledge the spheres in which I have privilege and seek to leverage that privilege to amplify underrepresented voices. I have been and will continue to be committed to working to build a more diverse and inclusive environment, through teaching, mentoring, and research.
