Description

I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 2020 with a Master’s degree in film production, specialising in Production Design. I then worked steadily as Art Department Assistant within the Art Departments for ITV’s Grantchester, BBC’s Killing Eve and Netflix drama Obsession. In these roles, I undertook a lot of draughting for smaller construction elements on location; plugs, cover-ups and location enhancements. I was also responsible for managing these locations and overseeing construction during the installation. Here I found a passion for Art Direction and have pursued this role since. On Back to Black & All Creatures I started draughting for all construction elements, many of which were large scale cover-up, plugs and set peace’s. In my most recent role on CC: Emily I was promoted from Assistant Art Director to Art Director. Fulfilling my career long goal.
