Crew Listing


Description

Recent feature films include Rebekah Fortune’s, Learning to Breathe Under Water (in post), and Elizabeth Sankey’s latest feature doc, Witches, BIFA Best Documentary 2024 Winner and BFDG award winner 2025, premiered at Tribeca Festival 2024 and released on MUBI.

I bring my background in interdisciplinary art, theatre design and socially engaged filmmaking projects to my world building approach for Film and TV and into creating and leading a team.


Special Interests

Having worked up through the art department I have managed large budgets, set builds, location adaptions and teams as a supervising art director, experience that feeds directly into my production design process. Art direction credits for feature film and tv drama include Kevin Macdonald’s The Runner (2026) , Black Mirror S7 - ‘Plaything’ (2024) and Landscapers (2021) which won a TV BAFTA for best production design.

I remain committed to sharing our craft, building a community and encouraging new faces into the industry through my work and the opportunities I am able to offer others. I mentor with BFI Film Academy, UAL and BAFTA, and co-organise and participate in events with the British Film Designers Guild, The Production Designer’s Collective and the Society of British Theatre Designers.
