G.WESTWOOD

G is a BFDG Production Designer and Art Director working across feature films, HETV, commercials and music. With a background in art, sculpture, architecture and natural landscape scenery her work is deeply rooted in a unique combination of organic and conceptual design.

She earned a BA (Hons) in Interior Architecture in 2009, with a visionary final project: a futuristic building that cures depression by transferring energy through flowers — a concept she continues to develop today and is currently writing a script for - along with a few other film treatments. You can read more about her writing projects at www.perpetual-stew.com.

Ten years or so after her degree and a career change or two, G returned to her lifelong dream of storytelling through film. Her design practice is defined by a naturalistic understanding of colour, shape and form, honed through years of working at the intersection of landscape design, architectural thinking, and visual storytelling. G is particularly drawn to surrealism / fantastical realism, science fiction, dark comedies, and conceptual environments - crafting spaces that blur the line between the natural and the imagined.

Whilst the big budgets are great, G also thrives with micro budgets and embraces the challenge of making the impossible possible. Priding herself on excellent management skills and keeping creative and calm under pressure, G is the kind of Art Director / Designer that ensures the art department is run collaboratively, respectfully and efficiently.
