Set dressing for the narrative, short film, Lost. I was tasked with dressing down a cluttered apartment to look minimal and bleak. In contrast, I dressed a Victorian home to look dark and mysterious, using a variety of items sourced from Universal Studios and Warner Brothers Prop houses.

On this built set, I was tasked with dressing a 50's-style dining room/kitchen. The kitchen was a printed backdrop of a location we took a photo of. Dining room pieces were sourced from friends and local thrift stores in the Baltimore, MD area.

This set was built on stage at the American Film Insitute and Conservatory in Hollywood, CA. I dressed the set using items found at local prop houses, as well as from Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, ISS, and AFI's in-house property department. The items on the walls were, agreed upon, add-ons not included in original design plans.

This film was shot entirely on location and required a lot of re-purposing of set dressing pieces and using these items to make these spaces have a cluttered feel to them. Many of the items in the scenes were sourced from local thrift stores or found within the location already.

This short film was shot entirely on location as well. I was tasked with dressing multiple locations that required extreme care of our locations, as well as borrowed props. I cleared a good amount of furniture to achieve these looks and of course reset our locations, identical to how they looked prior to our arrival!

This was a commerical for the cannabis company, Green Bee Life. It was their first Yule Log that I was tasksed with not only designing but dressing as well. I rented a variety of faux weed plants from Green Sets, located in Hollywood, CA. I also sourced much of the decor from local crafting stores. Fun fact: This is the same fire placed used for the Hallmark yule logs!

For this first set, I set dressed a location to look like a cluttered/hoarder's bedroom. I used wrapping paper to mimic wallpaper patterns, as well as old newspapers and book pages to add fill. I also used spray as dirt and for staining some items in the room. For the office set, I dressed it to appear abandoned during the middle of a work shift.
