Chair Design
The result of a clever teen’s experiment to create the ultimate lounger for summer vacation. The prop fabricators stayed true to the sketch and included some of their own brilliant additions.
Ancient Vial
The director requested a hand-made Egyptian looking vial. I crafted the finished piece as well, which was sent to the mold shop for multiple copies.
Storyboard
The producers asked for a reality show logo. A simple storyboard illustrated how it might move. The effects house then elevated it to a new level.
