background

I am currently pursuing my MFA in Production Design at the American Film Institute Conservatory. My approach to design is rooted in understanding character psychology and translating it into physical space. I am particularly interested in how environments evolve alongside narrative — reflecting shifts in identity, emotion, and control. Originally rooted in both film and art, my creative foundation comes from a family of artists. My father is a filmmaker, and my mother is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography, which shaped my early understanding of visual storytelling and image-making. I moved to Los Angeles to further develop this practice, bringing together cinematic language and artistic intuition in my work. My work spans atmospheric world-building, character-driven interiors, and concept design, with a focus on creating spaces that feel emotionally grounded, intentional, and alive within the story.
