My Approach

From small screens to silver screens.

From phone screens to movie theaters, live stages to the bar stool you're sitting on, there's a good chance you've stepped into one of my sets without knowing it. My work shows up in branded content, narrative streaming, commercials, live brand experiences, and the restaurants and bars where people go to celebrate.

I'm Brooke Vaughn-Saige, a production designer who brings film-set craft to every kind of project. I started my design career assisting an interior designer, and in 2015 an up-and-coming restaurateur took a chance on a young, ambitious designer with a knack for what we now call the "Instagrammable moment." Back then, designing a space around the photo guests would take, treasure and post was pushing the envelope. Today it's second nature, and those moments fill our feeds every day. A wall made of cassette tapes, an ambient patio: one great moment gets shared, the shares fill the seats, and a quiet room becomes the place everyone's trying to book. The right detail can take a business from overlooked to overbooked.

That idea runs through everything I do. Whether a space is built for a camera or for a guest, it should tell a story worth stepping into and worth sharing.

I love the collaborative side of this work. Whether I'm working with a producer, a brand team, a director, a cinematographer, or a writer, my job is to bring their vision to life, on time and on budget, and to make everyone's work look better. My clients include production companies, agencies, in-house marketing teams, and brands directly. When a project calls for more hands, I bring in a trusted crew of freelance artists and makers I've worked alongside for years. That lets me scale from a single styled shot to a full art department. From work-for-hire to cinematic, we've got it covered.
