I’m a London-based Production Designer and Art Director working across feature films, high-end television and commercials. With a background in interior design and architecture, I’m drawn to the relationship between space, character and story, and to finding the visual language that brings a script to life on screen.

​

My career has taken me through every stage of the art department, from Set Designer and Set Decorator to Art Director, Supervising Art Director and Production Designer. That journey has given me a strong understanding of the filmmaking process, from the first visual ideas through to the practical realities of bringing them to the screen.

​

My first feature as Production Designer was The Wee Man, directed by Ray Burdis, a gritty Scottish crime drama set in the 1990s that earned a BAFTA Scotland Award. Most recently, I production designed Season 2 of Adjani Salmon’s Dreaming Whilst Black for A24 and the BBC, helping shape a distinctive visual world for the comedy-drama, which received three RTS Programme Award nominations in 2026.

​

My wider screen credits include Alien: Covenant (Ridley Scott), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Blacklight, Vanity Fair (Mira Nair), Oasis (Kevin Macdonald), Mr Selfridge and The Wilds Season 2. I’ve also art directed commercials for international brands including Nike, Burberry and Qatar Airways.

​

I love the process of discovering what makes each story visually unique, whether that means creating a richly layered period world, imagining the future or finding something unexpected in a contemporary setting. I bring a hands-on, resourceful approach to design, combining drawing and visualisation with experience in set builds, VFX and virtual production, while exploring the possibilities of emerging AI technologies.

​

I’m an affiliated member of the British Film Designers Guild and have worked across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
