To break away from the standard, uninspired interview backdrop, two custom 8x8 walls were designed and built entirely out of wood, serving as the foundation for a visually rich and dynamic set. These walls were then layered with a curated mix of decor pieces, maps, outlines, drawings, and photographs—each element intentionally placed to create depth and character. The result was a textured, story-driven background that brought energy and context to every interview frame. This approach not only elevated the visual appeal but also offered a fresh, innovative alternative to the typical flat interview setup.
