some graphic design samples <3

As Production Designer on You Let Me Live Here, I designed and sourced every scene, including those in domestic spaces and magical ones. I built a forest inside a gymnasium on site using real-life plants and foliage, and worked with the Director of Photography, Spencer Ortega, to bring the vision to life. I also designed all the characters' wardrobes and managed on-set dressing as well as resetting.

As Production Designer on You Let Me Live Here, I designed and sourced every scene. I crafted a heartfelt Christmas holiday, a spooky Halloween night, as well as fantastical, magical forest scenes. I built a forest inside a bathroom and gymnasium on site using real-life plants and foliage, and worked with the Director of Photography, Spencer Ortega, to bring the vision to life. I also converted a hallway to an airport setting using set dressing and sourcing materials. Additionally, I also designed and sourced all the characters' wardrobes and managed on-set dressing as well as resetting.

For I'm Tired of Hurting People, I designed and built multiple living spaces for the main characters as well as sourced furniture, crafted a papier-mache boulder, baked and dried orange slices for an "orange tree", designed and crafted a handful of on-stage play scene replicas of real-life paintings from the Nelson-Atkins museum, and reset every location exactly.

VIDEOGRAPHER C AND BTS PHOTOGRAPHER - PROSPEROS PRODUCTIONS - BELL TOWER

On this project, I worked on set dressing, decorating, and assisting the art director and general production via runs, set up, take down, and cleanup.

For this shoot, I designed set spaces, set dressed, decorated, shot, and directed models as well as edited images post production.

For Art and Willl, I worked to design, decorate, and source sets, I crafted and sourced all props, including a rudimentary stop-motion design set for the character to use, and designed all the graphics. Post production I reset rooms used for production.

For this project, I sourced set decor from my own collection, including a blanket, fake drugs, hero props such as a lighter, lamps, and books. I aided the art department and assembled furniture, steamed curtains, put up banners, stars, vinyl stickers and ran errands.

For this project, I worked with the camera and art department. I ran items for the camera department, took bts photos, set dressed, crafted on-the-go solutions for blackout lighting, cut a pizza box up, and taped it to the window in place of blackout curtains and trashbags failing to stay put.

For Holiday Touchdown, I worked with the props department to facilitate and keep track of props given to extras and actors. I aided the art department with set dressing and decorating, as well as took down an entire Christmas village with one other assistant over a football field's size of tents, Christmas lights, decorations, Christmas trees, an ice skating rink, stage decorations, and balloons, a Christmas bar pop up, and a street of vendors tents each with their own special themed decor. I organized all materials into a warehouse for storage post-cleanup.

For this project, I designed and built Christmas decor into a car while ensuring camera visibility and passenger safety. I reset decorations in between shots and added design details to create a unique and festive environment. At the end of the day, I reset the car and cleaned up all traces of decor. I used zipties to secure decorations then cut and hid them to hide visability of zipties and hid a miniture santa suit piece by piece throughout the car for fun viewer engagment.
