As Production Designer, I work directly with the Director, Producer, and Director of Photography (DOP) as head of the Art Department. My work begins in the early stages of design with some of my initial duties including drafting and sketching designs for the set, leading meetings with my department, budgeting, acquiring necessary resources for set dressing, as well as attending key meetings with the Director, Producer, DOP, and Editor.

Once filming begins, my duties include dressing the set on each day of filming, delegating duties to my Art Assistants and Art Director, watching the camera monitor for any discrepancies in design or layout, and assisting the Director and DOP.
