Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Barbie With Attitude!
Q: What has been the most surprising opportunity to come from your Barbie work?
The big one was leaving my full-time job in part due to revenue from views and ads, and being invited to Mattel's Collector Advisory Panel in 2013, which felt like being a Fortune 500 consultant for the Barbie world.
Barbie With Attitude!
Q: Let's start with how you approach your Barbie projects and how you decide between script and visuals.
I usually start with the idea and the script, then cast the dolls, choose outfits, sets, and film it once I know what it will be—this keeps the process focused and helps the final product feel cohesive.
It Started With A Teeny Tiny Hinge!
Q: What challenges did you face in recreating the space from descriptions?
The main challenge was translating 1930s details from diary descriptions into tangible miniatures, especially since the real house was empty, so I relied heavily on archival materials and imagination to fill in missing visuals.
It Started With A Teeny Tiny Hinge!
Q: Can you tell us about the Anne Frank House miniature project?
The project involves interiorizing the Achterhuis to reflect how it would have looked during the period, using research from diaries and historical context to guide furniture, objects, and layout, while keeping the space historically respectful and accurate.
The Luxe Life - In Mini, with Jonathan Steadman
Q: Can you tell us about some of the artisan pieces you used?
I used a mix from various places including Chicago and London, featuring a combination of vintage and custom-made furniture pieces.
