Special portable riser system allows multiple configurations with reversible section platforms. This stage riser system provides multiple lighting and effects options with plentiful free space under the risers by design, as shown in simple drawing below. The area around the step riser is open to allow light and fog to disperse along the riser steps for dramatic effect. *"Latin Grammy Celebra 2006"* *"Primer Impacto" 2005* Univision Network Drafting and Construction Drawings "El Grito" 2003 Los Angeles Drafting and Construction Drawings Galavision "Desafio Sabor" Miami 2007

"El Gordo y La Flaca Show" All natural solid wood and plywood, used in a modern design motif. The client owns many nice pieces of art that he needed to display for this set. We created an inexpensive and practical solution. The set design included floor plan, elevation and construction drawings, with color renderings.
	Note the use of frosted and textured glass in the kitchen wall cabinets. This really enhances the recessed lights. The counter tops are plastic laminate on plywood with solid maple edges.

*Univision "Despierta America"* Seen every morning in the U.S. and over 20 countries. I created a full 3d model, floor plan, elevations, and detailed construction drawings. I also supervised the installation and decoration of this set. This set shares a studio with three other shows, so it all strikes with built in rolling platforms and jacks. The set design included floor plan, elevation and construction drawings, with 3d model renderings.
*Univision "Aqui Ahora"* This set shares a studio with five other shows, so it all strikes with built in rolling platforms and jacks. Design included floor plan elevation and construction drawings with color renderings and 3-d flyover animated presentations.	Click here for more sets
