    • The Desert is a Living Thing

After leaving my full time role at Jacques Marie Mage, I had the opportunity to come back and consult on their collaboration shoot with Rocky Mountain Feather Bed, produced right here in Jackson, Wyoming. It was a great full circle moment, and I was involved across the full pre-production process, helping shape the creative vision that carried through to the final images.

Role

Creative consulting, casting, and location scouting. On-set art direction support.

Casting

Sourced and selected talent that fit the world both brands occupy — character-driven, authentic, and visually specific. JMM’s aesthetic demands a particular kind of presence, and casting was approached with that standard in mind.

Location Scouting

Identified and secured locations throughout Jackson that could hold the tone of the collaboration — environments that felt lived-in and considered, capable of sitting at the intersection of JMM’s European precision and Rocky Mountain Feather Beds’ American craft.

Art Direction

Worked alongside the creative team on set to ensure each frame stayed true to the established direction — guiding composition, wardrobe placement, and environmental details throughout the shoot.
