Hi! I’m Katie, a production designer and art director based in NYC.

My earliest memories of film come from my grandfather’s movie closet, a small wonderland of VHS tapes with handwritten notes spanning decades. Raised on a healthy balance of his feverish adoration for cinema and my english teacher grandmother’s endless appetite for live theater. I knew I wanted to tell stories for a living by the time I got to the 4th grade.

My design practice is heavily rooted in research and color, and I love diving into the minutiae of the story. No detail is too small. I’m also a firm believer that the best ideas and choices can come from conversations spanning all corners of the cast/crew. Filmmaking is a group sport and I appreciate when every voice is heard.

I’m a proud member of Local USA 829 and the Production Designer’s Collective. When I pull myself away from work to try and find some sort of balance (whatever that means)… I love to paint, and to roam through art/history museums, vintage shops, and independent bookstores.
