Passionate about visual arts and drawing, i started architecture in Romania to move to France one year later and continue with arts & design. All the experimenting led me to cinema studies, where I graduated with a BFA (Hons) in cinematography and editing. I loved the idea of applying all the skills i had acquired in my work, so from very early on I chose
production design which, in my opinion is the broadest of positions in a film production. I worked on a variety of short films, feature films and commercials both in Paris and London, where I moved after graduation and lived for almost three years.
I am truly in love with what I do, be it commercial or films. I try to bring in as much input as I can, from working with the director on character research and background story to collaborating with the DOP on framing, color schemes and textures.
Some of the film productions I’ve worked on:
- “Romeo” ( dir. Christophe Ducruet / short film / production designer / FR)
- “Sois Femme” ( dir. Mikaela Bouzaglo / short film / production designer / FR)
- “Set the Thames on Fire” ( dir. Ben Charles Edwards / feature film / assistant art director / UK)
- “Tomoko” ( dir. Nick Norman Butler / short film / production designer / UK)
- “Bubbles” ( dir. Nasheed Faruqui / short film / production designer / UK)
- “Blackmoor” ( dir. James Lewis / short film / production designer / UK)
- “Kingsland” ( dir. James Gabbay / short film / production designer / UK)
- “Notes on Blindness ( dir. Pete Middleton / feature film / art assistant / UK)
- “You can Tutu” (dir. James Brown / feature film / stand by art director
When I am not working, I’m taking acting classes, learning to play guitar, reading about space or talking philosophy over a glass of wine.
