"The Vampire Diaries" came to Atlanta in the summer of 2009 after the pilot, which was filmed in Vancouver, was approved for 12 episodes. Once here in Atlanta I worked as the Art Director for the entire first season, which later was approved for 9 more episodes making a total of 21 episode worth of creative and exciting work. Every episode was filled with new locations, sets, and plot driven scenes that required every aspect of the Art Department.
