Unclaimed

Art Department Head / Production Designer / Props Collector / On Set Dresser

For this heartfelt short film about a lonely cremator who lives in a cemetery and says goodbye to the unclaimed bodies, I was tasked with turning an abandoned cremation building into an apartment, an office, and an active cremation site. Before & after:

living nightmares / episode three

Production Designer / Set Dresser / Props Collector / Wardrobe Stylist

Limited to not moving any of the furniture, I transformed this crowded living room into a trendy loft owned by two young women by building a fake wall. Using sheets of styrofoam, a soldering iron, and the creative usage of paint, fabric & handmade artwork, I was able to give the illusion of cozier (and cuter!) living space.
