Work Description:
At USS Nightmare, I began my journey in the creative industry as a Production Artist, specializing in makeup and special effects artistry.
My role involved creating and enhancing actors' appearances for horror and comedic entertainment. This experience provided me with invaluable hands-on training and led to opportunities in Los Angeles, where I further developed my skills in digital content editing, social media, and audio/video production.
In addition to my creative responsibilities, I assisted with the setup and takedown of daily operations, supervised and trained new employees, and contributed to the company's promotional efforts.
Key responsibilities:
- Created and enhanced actors' appearances for horror and comedic entertainment.
- Assisted with setup and takedown of daily operations.
- Performed as scare actor in haunted attraction.
My work was recognized with awards such as “Best Use of Prosthetic” Makeup Artist Award and the “Michael Meyers Hall of Fame” Award.
This role was a foundational experience that spring-boarded my career in design and production, leading to opportunities in podcasts, radio spots, and local/syndicated television.
