Decorating the Set (Interview with Art Director, Kevin Rupnik)
Welcome to Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick!

And this week, we have a great one. On this week’s episode, Beth and Producer Mike sit down with Kevin Rupnik, an Emmy-nominated Art Director who has been working in theater, television and film for 30 plus years, at the highest levels.
The Interview with Kevin begins at Time Code: 16:12
GUEST BIO: KEVIN RUPNIK
With formal training and experience in theater, opera, television and film, I bring an unusually holistic approach to brand communication and event marketing. As an Art Director I have designed for The Good Wife, Royal Pains, How to Make it in America, The Sound of Music Live and Masters of Sex, for which I was honored to be nominated for an Emmy in 2014.
Things to know about me: I am an experienced leader with a wicked sense of humor and the belief that work should be fun as well as productive. Being curious is the trait I’m the most proud of. I believe in the transformative power of design. I live in New York but love the tropics and the desert. My dad was a tool-and-die maker and my mother was a beautician. I believe that the key to successful working relationships is mutual respect.
I believe in the POWER of events to shape opinion, inform brand communication, and inspire devotion. As a creative director who can write, and a writer with formal training in design and the theater, I see the BIG PICTURE and am able to manage every step of the process from ideation to production.
