Steel Magnolias — Truvy’s Beauty Shop
As a production designer, I approached this project as a study in space, color, and emotion. Truvy’s beauty shop isn’t just a location — it’s a social world built on warmth, gossip, and resilience.
The 1980s palette of mint green, peach pink, and patterned wallpaper evokes both comfort and charm, while each prop and texture adds a layer of lived-in detail.
I designed the space with camera movement and character blocking in mind, creating an environment that supports storytelling — from moments of laughter to quiet reflection. Though it’s a digital project, every choice aims to make the shop feel tangible — a place where you can almost smell the hairspray and hear the conversations between friends.
