My Story
Interior Designer | Art Director | Prop Stylist
For the last 10 years, I have carried many roles in the design business. From an interior designer/art director at a commercial photography agency to a creative production manager on a marketing team for a high end furniture brand. Brands come to me with a vision and I create interiors, stills, videos, and animations for their advertising needs. I work closely with photographers, painters, carpenters, soft-good stylists, digital artists, graphic designers, and clients to creatively problem-solve solutions.
Values
Think. This is 90% of the job.
Ask. Discover the things you don’t know.
Get inspired. Create something new.
Collaborate. Big things can’t be done alone.
Create. Don’t fall in love with your creation.
Services
Interior Designer
From small living rooms to full-functioning kitchens, I design sets that are custom fit for photography and video. I source materials, create mood boards, build 3D renderings, configure space-plans. It's all in a days work. Once my designs get approved by the client, I create construction documents to put the motion in action.
Brand Advocate
Each brand is different and has different wants and needs. On any project, I truly like to discover what exactly the brand is made of and what they are looking to upgrade, change or embody. This method helps me work closely with clients and provide them with the best knowledge and advice I possibly can.
Art Director
We have a lot of sets that are already created in our studio. I pull plans together for brand's to help communicate their product to the public. I work closely with a photographer on set to art direct photo shoots, video shoots and social media campaigns.
Media Creator
In my spare time at work, I run our company's social media accounts. I am up to date on trends and post regularly on our accounts. We create custom posts for our feed and are always looking for new ways to interact virtually.
Prop Stylist
I am fortunate enough to work in a studio that has over 500,000 props. Curating looks through propping, soft goods, and plants create the story I am trying to tell through media.
Model Wrangler
I work closely with models for photo and video shoots. From art direction to wardrobe preparation, my job lends me to do a little bit of everything. Working in the studio and also on locations with models has given me the tools to be prepared for every situation.
