Overview

Working as part of the art department on Wicked under Production Designer Nathan Crowley, contributing to the visual development of environments and set design across the world of Oz. The film went on to receive Academy Award and BAFTA recognition for Production Design.

A 3D-first approach was essential throughout the project to establish accurate scale, spatial relationships, and buildable set geometry. Working in 3D allowed environments to be developed as coherent, physically grounded spaces that could directly inform large-scale production design decisions and practical set construction.

The work focused on translating early concepts into fully realised environments through 3D blockouts, paintovers, and keyframe exploration.
