In my spare time, I bring stories to life through design and art direction for feature films. After missing the chance to work on Dazed and Confused in the ’90s, I eagerly joined Richard Linklater’s “spiritual sequel,” helping craft the visual narrative that immerses audiences in its world. From the poster to background set dressing, I shaped every detail to support the story—from period-accurate signage, props, and wardrobe to recreating an entire collection of ’80s beer cans.
