Mindy may be best known for her work on the cult classic OFFICE SPACE. She is recognized for her ability to create specialty costumes so visual effects can make the impossible believable—as in the award-winning ADIDAS’ Laila vs Ali, where we seem to time travel with Laila as she spars with her father back to 1963 or her transformation of a 2’10” little person into the viral sensation, guitar-playing baby for GUITAR HERO.  This highly respected designer enjoys thinking outside of the box to colaborate on new ways of storytelling. Her design for the mini-Darth Vader spot for VOLKSWAGEN is acclaimed as the most viral Super Bowl add ever! Mindy’s extensive work in feature films, theater, television, print and commercials shows her enthusiasm in taking an innovative vision from the collaborative medium of the production world, and masterfully sculpting three-dimensional characters that seamlessly support the story. As a visual communicator, she is at the top of her game.
