20+ years in the film industry
The work of a production designer in film is the visual realization of the director’s vision on screen. It is achieved by creating an artistic concept that defines the visual appearance of the film through the organization of space, light, color, and texture.
The task of a production designer in film is to create the concept and style of the movie, build a team, and bring the idea to life while meeting deadlines and staying within budget. Every project is an adventure, often full of stress and unexpected situations. In filmmaking, unexpected challenges happen quite regularly for many different reasons.
