His experiences include stage, television, and industrial productions. He also taught production design and technical direction at the university level for many years.
Mr. Skoog has designed over sixty theatrical stage productions for academic and professional theater companies. In 1988 he began a ten year association with Joint Effort Productions Inc. While working with JEPI, Mr. Skoog designed the scenery for NASCAR Today for Ross Television and the TNN Network; The Nasville Area Music Awards. He also spent 6 years working with Miss Universe Inc. and CBS Television. Mr. Skoog began his association as Scenic Artist, progressing to Technical Stage Supervisor and culminating as Assistant Art Director to Robert Rappaport for the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe Pageants.

“To capture the images within the minds of the other members of the production team and meld them with ones own into a visually cohesive three dimensional space while satisfying budgetary guidelines is the holy grail for which we quest.”
