About Elizabeth

Production Designer. Creative, alert, team player. I earned my MFA in Production Design from American Film Institute Conservatory (AFI). I've earned my street cred from years as a production designer, primarily for film and advertising (though I've got a yen to explore television), a former career as an event designer, collaborative artist, and a drummer in several bands.

Unique traits: Creative thinker. Good collaborator. I love storytelling!
