Bio

Art Department all-rounder and Production Designer and with over a decade of experience across commercials, longform narrative, music videos, short films, and editorial fashion photography in New York City and globally. Trained formally in Fashion Design, I entered the industry initially as a production and photo assistant on fashion editorials. Being on set with some of the world’s biggest names for the world’s biggest brands for 5+ years, I was able to develop my skills in problem solving, collaboration, and communication as well as strengthen my work ethic and set etiquette. During this time, I also had a solo photography practice that helped me to develop my skills in lighting and set design, which eventually led me to working in Art Department. A natural builder and designer, I love the process of physically creating someone’s vision and while I enjoy leading – I am just as happy being a part of a team working towards a common goal. I have recently moved to Aotearoa New Zealand and available for local and international productions.
