I am so excited to welcome wonderful Production Designer Cheyenne Ford to the show today. We've worked together on multiple projects including Story Ave, The Caretaker, and The Eyes of My Mother. Cheyenne is also the founder and program director of Art Craft NYC, a program that provides knowledge and training to those interested in becoming entry level in the art department. Applications for the inaugural class are currently open until Saturday April 6th. Head over to their page to get more info!

We had a great conversation that covered so much ground, from mentorship and education to her design process to how much we love the library! And so much more.
