• Alfonso Ramirez

    Prop Master (Non-Union) 

    Asst. Property Master | Set Dresser (IATSE Local 44)

    I'm a Prop Master/Asst. Property Master based in Los Angeles with more than 3 years of experience - designing props and managing them on and off set.

     

    My goal is to create/acquire props that help bring your vision to life: from inception to completion. I am fascinated by the inherent complexities and challenges each project brings – from researching and getting a very antique prop to creating something straight out of your imagination.
