I am an experienced art director, creative set designer and highly skilled set and prop stylist with extensive production and prop sourcing knowledge who is focused on answering and pushing client briefs, delivering inspirational, realistic and striking imagery, on time and within budget. More recently gaining credits as production designer on unscripted TV.
My aim is to work collaboratively, directing and assisting on multiple disciplines to enable clients to visually differentiate themselves from their competition and sell themselves and their products or services in the most efficient and effective way.
I can assist with all aspects of a brief however large or small the project: from exploring and developing initial concepts and ideas, mood-board research, set design, project management, sourcing, location sourcing, budget management, model management, styling both in the studio, on location and overseas.
My Degree in Marketing and further studies in Art and Design, Textiles and Photography, coupled with my many years of professional experience both in-house and as a freelancer, all added to my love of design. I am extremely passionate about what I do and strive to get the most for each project and the people I work with.
“It’s always a pleasure to work with Kirsty. She has a really good eye and worked well with the directors to realise what they wanted and dealt with last minute changes, whilst coming in on budget on both. She always brings along a great team of people and we would happily work with her again.”
Caroline Turner - Head of Production - Swan Films

“Kirsty is an absolutely fantastic person and stylist. Her passion for her job is infectious, she is incredibly creative and its always a pleasure being on set with her.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Kirsty in both a professional and personal capacity for over five years. Kirsty is not only personable and approachable but a hard working, enthusiastic individual who consistently performs, remains focused and goes above and beyond to deliver.”
Dionne Frater - Senior Production Manager - The Hut Group
“Working with Kirsty was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Kirsty really took the time to understand the needs of our Christmas campaign brief and the diversity of handmade products what we wanted to showcase. Kirsty’s careful and creative planning, styling and execution all resulted in a collection of really stunning and well balance shots, that really enhanced the beauty of our makers’ handmade craft. Were already looking forward to working with Kirsty again on future photoshoots and would highly recommend her to other arts organisations and makers.”
