Kaylee Johnson (’14 Film)

A highly detailed 1980s trailer living room set from Stranger Things. The room features wood-paneled walls decorated with dozens of trucker hats and coffee mugs. A messy, lived-in space with brown shag carpet, a vintage floral couch, and 80s-era decor, lit by warm indoor lamps.

Of the seven years Kaylee M. Johnson, ’14 Film, has worked in the film industry, she says working on the sets of Seasons 4 and 5 of Stranger Things has been her favorite experience. As a set dresser, Johnson ensured sets were clean and reflected the daily changes made to the script. When filming for Season 5 wrapped, Johnson recalls how bittersweet it was to package and ship the assets for the show as well as go through the warehouse where all the set dressing was held.

“It was like walking into a history museum,” she said. “I knew almost all of the pieces that were in there and what sets they came from.”
