This is a project I have been itching to share since we shot it! @carluccio.mov ’s short film Manicure was an absolute pleasure to design, we spent a lot of time in pre production with incredible DP @nonaiscool and producer @revvedup17 to build a lush color palette and texture for the story to live in and I am so proud of the result! As always, but especially this time, I literally couldn’t have done it without Art Director @stadleralec , as I got covid days before set and couldn’t be there in person for the shoot 😭 BTS and more credits to come!

Some snapshots from the Terrifier 3 premier! It was surreal to attend this screening in a theater in my home city that I walked by almost every day in college but maybe saw one movie at ever lol There are far too many people to thank and, despite this movie legitimately nearly killing me and our mighty art department, I am so proud of what we created! Terrifier 3 comes out today, go see it if you dare and try to look at the sets surrounding the excessive murders! BTS to come!

Designing this music video for @ajrbrothers felt like living in an I-spy book in the best possible way! I am so honored to have been able to work with this talented crew and band to make teeny tiny little sets! Thanks to the incredibly talented @edoardo2 for entertaining all my crazy ideas including helping me “chain-smoke” 30 herbal cigarettes for our Desk City set!

Some unhinged BTS of building our ominous snowman prop for @officialterrifier3 ! This not so little guy has a pivotal moment in the bar kill scene (my favorite set from the whole film)! Keep an eye out for his hand sculpted eyes and nose in the movie (sculpted by @john_the_stegs and @jsa.676 ! Also notice his little beer bottle cap buttons and mouth! More BTS to come!

Had a fabulous witchy confectionary time working on @seahogsarah ’s First music video for her beautiful single The Same Bitch! Thanks as always @edoardo2 for having me on set and getting excited about obscure design details with me! Thanks to @kyle_the_creator8 for rushing to set a table full of 40 candles with me and to @eleanorlh_1997 for lending me a hand while simultaneously choreographing! Scroll the the end for a peek at my manic frosting script practice!
