When designing, Selby is fearless in using various materials, textures, playing with timing, and utilizing all of the senses in order to create a fully developed environment that supports the production.  Her sets are a unifying component in elevating the complexities and importance of all design areas and actors onstage.  In order to have a cohesive design her goal is to have open communication and a combined effort between all production departments. 

After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama's M.F.A. program in Scenic Design, she has assisted for various Set Designers in NYC.  She worked for Scott Pask Studio and has designed for Barnard College, Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and Moxie Arts. She received her B.F.A. degree from the University of Southern California School of Drama's Theatre Design program.  During her downtime she enjoys refurbishing old furniture, cooking, and antique shopping.
