“Social media has redefined the art and design world completely. For us, as part of the film industry, it is impossible to ignore this reality. Online consumers of audiovisual content use Instagram for art related purposes more than any other media, and the approach to our work is first seen online.”

“Social media is sort of design diary, a magic maker that has become necessary in my career nowadays.”

I feel like we could talk forever, but I know that you have to leave soon, so my last question to you is what piece of advice would you give to someone like me who is just starting out?

I would say to always go with what your gut is telling you, and trust yourself. Never stop learning and always go back and reflect on who you are, why you are here, and what it is that you love about what you do. Production designers have to constantly change their source of creativity to find new ways to discover beauty and inspiration. It doesn’t matter if it is a horrifying murder scene or a dreamed-up planet, we have the power to bring things visually to life, and to tell people a story through art with our vision and uniqueness. That is beautiful.
