About me
I'm Zee, an Production Designer /Art Director with experience as an Interior Architect, Graphic Artist Digital/Print & Installation, and UX/UI with a wide and versatile experience of over 25 years as a Filmmaker. Part of a demographic who are not satisfied by a linear structure to their career yet seek qualified experience in numerous skill sets.Whether I am delivering a comprehensive film production design book, Art Direction or Property Buying I aim to deliver the best possible work no matter what the situation or location. I offer a practical, motivated, inspired, and solid workflow in all projects whether it be as a HOD or a functional creative team member.
I have challenged myself on varied and sometimes complex projects gaining a quarter-century of experience. This allows liquidity in my workflow, being able to choose the best fit practice and apply my multifaceted and cross-transferable skillset to bring solutions and of course always ready to firefight solutions.
I spent several years with a UK Architectural Practice working in the EMEA. I achieved the completion of D&B projects of a value of £168m as Lead Designer & interior Structural Architect working with eight teams as well as the client's global management team.
I qualified from the RCA and UAL in Graphic Design and Public Art, and I soon opened my own successful Design, Print & Web business, after this, a successful corporate Video company that funded my own short films which had several successful productions at international film festivals.
I regularly work as a commercial Art Director for Craft & McCann, Duck Productions. Also, an Art Director and Production Designer in Drama for the BBC and independent film production companies shooting in the UK, and International locations.
I look forward to all new projects and challenges and working with previous creative teams and new colleagues.
Additional information:
I draw on my experience so far with over 70+ productions in mixed roles from production to technical crew roles and HOD positions. I have collaborated and led project teams from start to completion and won a collection of Intl. Awards (Details can be provided).
Working on features., commercials, and shorts, I can help to create exciting design and visual packages for best-fit project budgets.
