G.WEST

WOOD

G has designed five feature films and art directed commercials, music videos, films and high end tv series. With a background in interior architecture, a past career in floral design and a hobbyist painter and writer, her work is deeply rooted in a unique combination of organic and architectural design.

Ten years or so after her degree and a career change or two, G returned to film. Her design practice is defined by a naturalistic understanding of visual storytelling - particularly drawn to surrealism, fantastical realism, science fiction, dark comedies, and conceptual environments.

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 ensures the art department is run collaboratively, respectfully and efficiently.

G is a Production Designer based in Bristol / Stroud and has a large ground floor studio available for set and prop builds.

• Production Designer for a thriller feature film set in Hastings, Rolling Blackouts.
