As the production designer of 'Imaginary Friend,' I collaborated with director Zach Rubin to transform a modern home into an austere landscape for his short film. I constructed key props, such as the virtual assistant glasses, which were crucial to the narrative.

Recently, Helen has been tormented by a series of unsettling dreams that seem to seep into her waking life. Living alone, her only companion is a virtual assistant that guides her throughout the day, providing breathing exercises, personalized advertisements, and more. When she receives a message from her estranged son, David, it resurfaces old wounds, prompting her AI companion to suggest a new device that enables cathartic virtual reality experiences.
