Decorator Spotlight

In a few words...

What is your current state of mind? A thousand points of light... lot's of exciting things going on right now. I am honored to be settling into my new position as the Set Decorator Governor for the Designers Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Which talent would you most like to have? I wish I could paint and draw better, and I’ve always wanted to learn how to weld (in an artistic Jan Pascale way--not to build structures).

Credits include: What do you consider your greatest achievement? The Internship I am fortunate to be a working Set Decorator and to have contributed to some projects that I am quite Argo proud of.

Horrible Bosses What is your most treasured possession? My little family, my dogs, my home. Four Christmases Which word or phrase do you most overuse? Leatherheads "Just sayin’…….."

Syriana What so you look for on the Craft Services table? Dark chocolate Good Night, and Good Luck (Oscar® Nomination) What is your motto? Oh dear…..not sure I’ve ever had one of those. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Please name a benefit of being and SDSA member. Training Day I know that there are many more colleagues and Business Members who have become close friends The Flintstones in than I ever would have had without the SDSA. We Viva Las Vegas have nurtured a comfortable atmosphere to build relationships that will last beyond our careers.
