The first SDSA Office Hours session was a real treat!
Student & associate members got real talk from award-winning Set Decorators about breaking into the industry, mastering research & logistics, navigating union entry, and building careers from PA to Set Decorator.
Jan Pascale (Mank), David Schlesinger (Severance), Ellen Reede (Palm Royale), Claudette Didul (Mad Men), and Mary Ellen Hendrick-Correa (WandaVision) shared career paths, buyer skills, regional differences, and the challenges nobody talks about.
THIS is what your SDSA membership gets you—insider access, honest advice, and a direct line to working professionals.
Next session coming this fall. Don't miss it!

Monday, April 20th we started the process of digitizing 30 years of SDSA records. From Set Decorator applications to Market Place site plans we're going through it all. Gene Cane, Laura Richarz SDSA, Kelsey Fowler SDSA and I did the beta test today to see what process would work best for the SDSA files.
#OfficialSDSA #History4Hire #SetDecorator #OfficeCleanup #Digitizing
ALT Former SDSA president, Laura Richarz (Lifetime Achievement Honoree) and current president Kelsey Fowler took over the conference table to go through each file. Gene is a wealth of information about the organization, a must have for deciding what to keep and what to shred.
ALT Paperwork to be shredded is put in a clear file and returned to the drawer where it was found.
ALT Each drawer has a label to keep track on what has been done and who worked on the file. Once we've gone through all 23 file drawers we'll contact the shredding company...to come on down!
