With over 15 years of experience in both the Art and Costume departments, I have evolved into a highly skilled and versatile Art Director and Set Decorator. My journey began with a formal education in fashion, where I developed a strong foundation in costume design. This initial focus on costume has greatly influenced my approach to art direction, allowing me to create visually captivating environments that complement the narrative of each project.

Having worked closely with some of the industry's top art directors, I now lead my own team on long-format productions. My passion for life and film fuels my creativity, and I thrive in the collaborative atmosphere of the industry. I approach every project with a deep sense of purpose, driven by the desire to bring stories to life.

Creativity, precision, and an unyielding dedication to delivering the director’s vision are at the core of my work. I possess an exceptional ability to interpret briefs, bringing concepts to life with a keen eye for aesthetics and detail. Over the years, I’ve not only grown as an artist but also as a leader, guiding a talented team through the intricacies of design and production.

My technical knowledge spans various domains—from set decoration to costume design—while my insight into human behaviour helps me maintain strong interpersonal relationships on set. I remain driven, task-oriented, and visionary, approaching each project with unwavering dedication and commitment to excellence.
