Not many get the chance to see what the set of Saturday Night Live looks like during their hiatus. I had the pleasure when I was asked to assist the GOLF Channel's on-air production and events team to design and execute the temporary staging and VIP experience. This was a VIP experience for a one-night-only primetime show for the PGA of America. The overall project had me visit Studio 8H at Rockefeller Plaza several times, once to meet studio staff and learn the possibilities of the space and another time to see it through to final execution where I worked with local vendors who printed and delivered all my designs.
