Guadalupe in the Guest Room is centered around a grieving mother and her son-in-law as they experience the loss of a loved one. Through the shared love of Spanish telenovelas, the characters overcome emotional, cultural, and language barriers as they bond and heal together. For the overall concept and design of the show, the director and I wanted to stay true to the Latin - American culture and to separate the telenovela sequences from the rest of the show. To accomplish this, I costumed the telenovela characters in bright color palettes inspired by the Latin American actress, Maria Felix, and costumed the rest of the characters in modern day clothing.
