A Smalltowne Christmas
A nostalgic holiday setting shaped around warmth, tradition, and small-town cheer, creating a festive world that supports community, memory, and seasonal spectacle.

Description
A Smalltowne Christmas was built around the feeling of a community gathering for shared holiday traditions. The scenic design leaned into warmth, seasonal texture, and small-town familiarity, creating a world that felt welcoming without becoming overly decorative.
The challenge was balancing festive spectacle with the intimacy of a local celebration. I wanted the environment to support music, choreography, and nostalgia while still leaving room for the performers to define the heart of the evening.
