Bomb Potato was a high energy project full of stylized action and campy design, including the unforgettable scequence of exploding potatos and french fries. As Art Director, the focus was on traslating the Production Designer’s vision into a pratical enviornment while serving as a bridge between the design team and the rest of the crew.

ROT — Project Overview
As Production Designer on ROT, I crafted the film’s visual language from concept to completion, shaping an eerie, lived-in farm world that deepens its psychological tension. I designed and built sets, sourced and fabricated props, and directed set dressing while working in close collaboration with the director and cinematographer. On set, I oversaw all art department operations, managed the budget, and led a small crew through both practical builds and adaptive work on location.
