Martha learned her craft and continued to work
on various television shows and features with
many talented Production Designers concurrently
with getting married and having three children.
She recalls, "The '80s were a blur and the '90s
were busy balancing work, kids' school, hobbies
and home. Staying in town to raise my children
and working with people who value family was
a priority. There were two Production Designers
who will always have a special place in my heart
by allowing me to bring my infant to work with
me: Bill Sandell on Generation and Ned Parsons on
Hill Street Blues. Needless to say, the challenges of
being a full-time working mom were di cult at
best, but being a Set Designer allowed me to take
breaks between shows and spend time with my
children that another job wouldn't necessarily
allow."
