Welcome to our house! My name is Joanna. I do background work in movies, TV, commercials, and industrials. I enjoy the excitement and creativity of being on a set so much that I thought — why not turn our house into a set?
Note for corporate clients: For R&D, product development, data collection, device testing, and off-site meetings, please use our dedicated Meetings & Commercial R&D listing where pricing and terms are tailored to those activities.
Our home is a traditional two-story residence with a varied, character-filled style — a mix of antiques and new furniture, interior barn doors, and an old red wall dial phone. The overall feeling is warm, inviting, comfortable, and updated.
Our front parlor gives the impression of stepping back in time. The gourmet kitchen is colorful, bright, and whimsical. Upstairs we have three bedrooms. We've lived here for 30+ years and my husband's love of gardening shows throughout.
We're minutes from freeways, restaurants, and shopping in the heart of Silicon Valley. Street parking available plus driveway access, with a quiet cul-de-sac just 200 feet away — convenient for production vehicles and crew.

This is a fabulous commercial that was filmed here for AutoX. You'll see my house in any of the shots that feature the mom and/or daughter.
