Vancouver Reno

For Warner Brothers Discovery and their Magnolia Network, I created, produced, and was showrunner on the pilot for a new series called Vancouver Reno.

Inspired by the stunning landscape of British Columbia, Canada, the show follows Vancouver-based interior designer Ami McKay as she pours her passion into crafting dream homes for clients with whom she shares heartfelt life connections—all while balancing her busy life.

Below is the proof of concept of the series when it was titled "Design Den."  I Created, Directed, Produced and Edited.

The first episode is now up on Discovery+.
