My approach is to 100 percent get the concept and the visual right. Get the client to love the space. Once they love the space, everything's possible.

I was a child of a single mother/art teacher, and a father who was an architect, so I've always been around the combination of art, fine art, and architecture my entire life.

Producers are looking to me to concept full worlds for subjects to compete, play a game show in, win an award, blah blah blah.

I'm 36, and sometimes I'm working so hard I don't realize how much I've gotten done.

If the person or artist doesn't touch it, and if the camera stays relatively far away from it, it doesn't really have to be real.

If you look around anywhere, layers are an important part of, not just the story and the concept, but the world you're in. If you just turn around and look at your office door, there's a door, and there's something behind it.
