Role: Assistant Art Director (ADG Local 800)
"The Beanie Bubble" is a 2023 comedy-drama film that explores the fictionalized journey of Ty Warner, the creator of Beanie Babies, from humble beginnings to billionaire status in the 1990s. Directed by Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash, the film highlights the pivotal roles played by three women—Robbie, Sheila, and Maya—in shaping Warner's plush empire. The cast includes Zach Galifianakis as Ty Warner, along with Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook, and Geraldine Viswanathan.
As the assistant art director, I created a comprehensive production design look book for acclaimed designer Molly Hughes, which earned high praise from Apple TV+ executives for its visual storytelling and alignment with brand aesthetic. To support the production's visual narrative, I conducted extensive research and curated reference imagery. I sourced and specified construction materials, including hardware, wallpaper, carpet, and paint for set construction, ensuring period accuracy and design cohesion throughout the project. Additionally, I managed the playback graphics schedule, coordinating between Visual Alchemy and in-house graphic designers to ensure timely creation and delivery of approved graphics. Based on thorough period-specific research, I developed and implemented graphic design plans, obtaining director approval for all elements. During location scouts, I assisted the supervising art director and production designer by meticulously documenting measurements and details, and efficiently disseminating this information to relevant departments
