[ /moh-NEEK DIE-ess/ ]

Hello friends,

I’m an LA-based Production Designer best known for my work on ONE OF THEM DAYS, NBC’s GRAND CREW, and the award winning Netflix series GENTEFIED.

For over fifteen years, I’ve designed for television and film, as well as brand activations, music videos, commercials, and documentaries. I am now expanding into experiential theater, immersive design, and live events, most recently contributing to the set decoration team on Netflix House’s Philadelphia fan experience, WEDNESDAY: EVE OF THE OUTCASTS.

Creating captivating worlds for stories to thrive and inspire is my greatest passion, and I’m always exploring new ways to push the craft forward, regardless of the medium.

During the pandemic, I found my way into animation, working remotely to design and illustrate the worlds of THE HARPER HOUSE and #1 HAPPY FAMILY USA. My 3D modeling skills have served me well in both live action and animation, and is a tool I often utilize to visually communicate my ideas.

I am an AFI Production Design alumnus, have a BFA from the University of Arizona in Media Arts, and act as a Production Design Mentor for Issa Rae’s Find Your People Program.

I am always seeking new opportunities to help storytellers research and reinvent genres through design. I take a “story first” approach to all of my ideations and love to turn scripted words into transcendent worlds. If you’d like to discuss the specifics of your project, I’d love to hear from you!
