My Favorite Production Designers

I've worked with and for many extremely talented people and from these individuals I gather inspiration and steal their best ideas. I'd like to thank them all and let y'all know who a few of them are. I'll update this from time to time...

Deb Riley

Game of Thrones Production Designer Deborah Riley is a wonderful human that I was fortunate enough to decorate two features for before becoming a Production Designer myself. She'd worked on an Oscar-winning movie, attended the same stage school as Cate Blanchett and Mel Gibson, and, aged 26, was responsible for Art Directing the Sydney Olympics closing ceremony.

Tom Duffield

Tom Duffield is an American Art Director and Production Designer. Duffield worked as an art director on a number of early Tim Burton films, and won great acclaim as the Production Designer on Ed Wood, which is one of my favorite films of the 1990's.

John Paino

I worked with John on a TV Pilot called Second Sight as his On-Set Dresser. He is a brilliant and detailed Production Designer who is as patient as he is professional. He's know for his work Emmy Award Winning work for Television, the Oscar Award Winning Film, Dallas Buyers Club and of course The Last of Us Series.

Ina Mayhew

Ina is a New York-based production designer known for her work with directors Spike Lee and Tyler Perry. She studied fine arts at SUNY Purchase and traveled in Africa before completing a technical theater degree at the Parsons School of Design. I was very fortunate to be her Set Decorator for three seasons and a bit on television for the show Queen Sugar for the OWN Network.
