I am a Scottish freelance production designer, art director and architect currently living in leafy North Oxford. I crossed over into the film industry as an established architect where I previously managed a series of built projects from inception to completion with John McAslan+Partners and Anouska Hempel Design in London. I also dappled in the field of lighting and interior design between projects.
Attracted by the film industry’s collaborative nature, hands-on necessity and the idea of working in the land of make-believe and magic. My bag of skills all seemed to click into place when I found myself working in an art department.
I started working in fast paced television in the north of England and have since worked nationally and internationally across broad and varied budgets, genres, periods; creating and managing studio and location sets of different scales.
I continue to undertake architectural commissions between film projects.
