project story

Article

Late September this year, Unbranded called me to ask if I was interested in being an Art Director for MTV America's Challenge Reunion. Another short notice project, as the build was scheduled for late October. After a quick online meet & greet with Julian Healy, the British set designer, we prepped for the studio build. Despite growing supply shortages due to the pandemic, we secured all props in time and managed a very comfortable build by Unbranded.
