Bethany Wonka

How did you get into the industry?

Over the last seven years, I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in the world of set design and set styling, mainly for live television at ShopHQ. This journey has fueled my passion for visual storytelling, and I’m now seeking the next challenge where I can expand these skills into other applications. I have skills in art direction, set design/styling and photo styling.

What inspires you?

What inspires me are people who lead their life doing things they love versus doing what is status quo.

What is your hometown?

Hugo, Minnesota

Favorite restaurant?

Cossettas in St. Paul

What do you like to do on the weekends?

Travel to local MN gems, spend time with my family (my 5 year old nephew keeps us busy!), and relax while watching my favorite shows!

What is your favorite band or type of music?

I love all kinds of music, but country and pop are my top two!

What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?

My grandma always told me to never stop learning. I find this to be especially helpful when I find myself in a slump.

What book, movie read/seen recently you would recommend and why?

CODA is one of the best movies I've seen in the last couple years. It is based on a young girl who is the only non-deaf person in the family. It's one of my favorites because of the passion she has for helping her family through hard ups and downs.

Are you a traveler or a homebody? Why?

Travelling, because it allows me to expand my frame of mind in ways I couldn't have imagined.
