I am a Creative Lead and Production Designer working across film, television drama, commercials, and immersive experiential environments. With two BAFTA and two RTS nominations for Best Production Design, I specialize in the craft of world-building: translating complex narratives and brand briefs into grounded, cinematic realities.
My work has been recognized at the highest level: productions I have designed have won the Emmy for Best Drama Series and the BAFTA Audience Award.
Whether orchestrating multi-million pound builds and art departments across multiple countries or delivering focused, resourceful design solutions for brands, I pride myself on being a "creative translator." I bridge the gap between high-level concept and physical execution, leading multidisciplinary teams of 40+ to create spaces that feel authentic, lived-in, and immersive.
Most recently, I have applied this cinematic lens to the experiential sector, collaborating with agencies like Amplify on award-winning pitches and brand-led storytelling. I am a collaborative partner who understands that great design must not only look incredible but also support the technical needs of every department and the strategic goals of the client. Above all, I am a highly creative and hands-on designer who values the craft of filmmaking and storytelling above all else.
Film & Television My film work includes the contemporary horror Hide & Don’t Speak with director Alexander J. Farrell, the action feature The Killer’s Game and post-apocalyptic thriller Afterburn (both starring Dave Bautista) and the award-winning horror The Autopsy of Jane Doe with director André Øvredal. Television credits include the Netflix fantasy series Shadow & Bone with showrunner Eric Heisserer and the contemporary crime thriller Gangs of London for Sky Atlantic and AMC+, working with directors Corin Hardy, Xavier Gens, and Gareth Evans.
Commercials & Brand Worlds In commercials, I have collaborated with Knucklehead, Dark Energy, and Pretty Bird on campaigns for Lancôme, Nespresso, and 1800 Tequila, and I designed a period promotional film for ITV’s Coronation Street directed by Caswell Coggins.
Affiliations I am a member of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), the British Film Designers Guild (BFDG), and the IATSE 800 Art Directors Guild. I also hold an O-1B visa for work in the United States.
