Starbucks Pupbucks 2019

Say hello to Pupbucks—a brand new breed of Starbucks stores. 👋🐾

Sadly an April Fool’s joke, this video was posted on Starbucks social media to delight fans of dogs and Starbucks. This was a fast-paced dream of a project. My pre-production work included casting puppies, storyboarding, and designing props (like a custom Starbucks doghouse and dog toy coffee cups). All footage was captured over a quick two day shoot with unpredictable talent (plus awesome human Lauren Du Pree). Adaptability, patience, and a big sense of humor were key for bringing this magic concept to life.

My Role: Senior Designer. Including story boards, casting, prop direction, and on-site Art Direction during shoot and post-production.
