Hi! I'm Steph, an emerging production designer, buyer and art assist. 

​

I came to the art department by way of writing and comedy so I'm especially excited about the ways design can tell a story, say the unspoken and create opportunities for surprise or delight onscreen. 

​

I've designed independent projects including the Melbourne Webfest award-nominated webseries Undergarment Odysseys, Vidya Rajan’s immersive theatrical gala The Lizard is Present, the music video for Vigilantonie’s Cooked, branded content for the VCARB Formula 1 team and Retail Express as well as short films including Are You Coming to My Birthday? (selected for Gold Coast Film Festival, Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival) and Mute (winner of VCA Best Production Design 2022). 

​

I've had experience in larger art departments including as props buyer on Sleeping Dogs, set dresser on Neighbours, junior buyer/dresser on Netflix’s Clickbait, internships on Force of Nature and Love Me Season 2, and buyer/art assist on commercials for clients including Bonds, ANZ and Koala Mattress. 

 

I completed my Master of Production Design at VCA where I was granted the Jim Marks Scholarship to attend the Production Designers Gathering in Greece. In 2024, I was sponsored by the Ian Potter Cultural Trust to spend two months learning draughting for film with Terry Ackland-Snow at Film Design International out of Pinewood Studios in the UK.

​

In my spare time you can find me making funny little things out of polymer clay, doing a Wikipedia deep-dive or cutting up bits of paper on my loungeroom floor.
