PRODUCTION DESIGNER TRAVIS SLAGLE

   Me, Myself and Why

Behind every piece of art is a story. It is the story and origin of that story that drives my designs. Be it as simple as decorating a set for a specific character or designing and building large sets, I believe the story comes first. With that being said, I’d like to tell you mine.

I grew up on a farm in the Appalachians of West Virginia. It is a place where most pride themselves on hard work and treating each other with kindness and fairness. It is also a place of poverty where the general attitude is that art is a past time - not a career choice. Well, thus far, I’ve proven them wrong.

The lessons I've learned from my personal history fuels my creative process today. Lessons such as listen intently, never judge, encourage passion in others, treat everyone fairly, follow your instincts, and finally, you're never more important than the story.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with clients such as Direct TV, the United States Army, La-z-Boy, American Girl Dolls, Logans Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel, Dodge Ram and many, many more. . I’ve also designed and decorated music videos for Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Blake Shelton, Maddie and Tae, Kane Brown, Sam Palladio, Tim McGraw, and many more. I have been fortunate enough to decorate for television shows and feature films as well.   

Now you've heard my story.  Let me help tell yours.
