My family used to take me to the cinema at least once a week when I was a kid, and since then it has been my dream to work in the movies. Life however led me into designing environments for the real world, working for several years as a Project Architect at a major practice in London.
I continued being in love with film design and following a trip with a friend to Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, a couple of years ago, where all the wonders of the Art Department are on display, I realised I must change trains. I looked for courses on set design and enrolled in several of them in my spare time. Trying to find a job in the industry while working was a struggle, and making the decision to quit my job and make the jump was scary, but I have no regrets. An opportunity appeared soon enough to join the team on The Power at Ealing, and now The Meg 2. I simply love it. To be part of such an amazing world full of creative and talented people is thrilling.
I am really grateful to all the people who supported me over the years and helped me to get through the door. There is nothing like working in what really inspires you. It is a privilege to wake up looking forward to the day ahead. To go to the studios every day, to help create a story by designing and drawing its scenarios, to visit the workshops and talk to the crews, to see how the sets get built … it´s all so enjoyable. I can truly say I have found my path. I couldn’t be happier and I´m really excited about everything that’s still to come.
