Paige Schaeffer

Originally a studio artist from the Chicago suburbs, Paige Schaeffer has found a passion in creating worlds that live on the screen. After studying architecture and fine art at the University of Kansas, she decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film. She has designed multiple stage designs for theater, as well as production design for short films, commercials and online mini-series. Seeing something missing in the film industry, Schaeffer is passionate about using production design to amplify stories of those who are often underrepresented. She feels fortunate to have spent her two years at the American Film Institute doing just that.
