For twenty years the resident scene designer at South Coast Repertory, Cliff's work in design, graphics, and installations now includes projects in adaptation, direction, and alternative performance. Cliff teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in design, collaboration, script analysis, and gay theater, plus a special series on the development of world theater, exploring global rituals and performance traditions as inspirations for new American theater.

His professional work outside of UCI has included designs for regional theaters on the West Coast, and he also coordinated Nexus, a collaborative play development program at South Coast Repertory. Its commissions and workshops with artists of diverse backgrounds and disciplines helped to increase the company's cross-cultural awareness and led to new works on SCR's stages. Cliff served on the board of directors of Cornerstone Theater Company, one of the nation's leading intercultural, community-based arts organizations, and now is a member of its National Advisory Circle.
