Liz Cox

Creative Director, Website Design,

Production Design​

As Creative Director at Center Stage, Liz is the creative eye behind much of what you see—from the website and marketing materials to the graphics and visual details that bring each theatre production to life. She leads Center Stage’s visual direction across digital and print, overseeing graphic design, website design and development, and the overall brand experience.

 

One of her favorite parts of the role is creating the visual identity for Center Stage’s multiple theatre productions each year. From developing show title graphics and promotional materials to designing programs and supporting production pieces, Liz helps give each show its own unique personality while making sure it still feels unmistakably Center Stage.

 

With a professional background in graphic design, brand identity, and web design, Liz loves taking an idea and turning it into something people can see, feel, and connect with. For her, design is about more than making something look good—it’s about telling a story and creating an experience.

 

At Center Stage, she gets to combine that love of design with something even more meaningful: helping showcase the creativity, confidence, and hard work of the kids who step onto the stage.
