Profile

Welcome to monmonDesign.

I’m a Supervising Art Director and Production Designer with a degree in Visual Arts from Germany, now based in London. While living in Germany, I worked as both a Graphic Designer and Assistant Director on various national and international cinema and film productions, spanning both high and low-budget projects.

My short film thesis, Migräne Das Monster In Mir, gained international recognition and was showcased at numerous film festivals worldwide. The film was also purchased by KIK-Kanal, airing from 2010 to 2015 in 500 hospitals across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

In 2013, I moved to London to expand my experience in design and media on a global scale. After completing several freelance graphic design projects, I joined YPC Group’s marketing department, where I led design efforts and collaborated with the Marketing Manager to assess ad performance and run split-testing campaigns.

In 2014, I took on a role with manoto TV (Marjan Television Network), initially as a graphic designer. By 2015, I was leading the Art Department, handling Art Direction, Set Design, and directing channel promos.

In 2018, I transitioned from the film studio environment to an editorial design role, leading and art directing visuals for stills.

Since 2020, I’ve been operating independently under monmonDesign Ltd., continuing my work as an Art Director and Production Designer across Film, TV, and still photography projects.

Experience

A creative tour-de-force as an Art Director, Creative Director and influencer within the Media, TV, Film, Entertainment and Consumer sectors, I bring 10+ years of leading bold creative projects and high-profile campaigns for globally recognised distributors.

Featured on Interior Design Masters (BBC 2) in 2021 with Alan Carr, I am also recognised for ‘Migraine: The Monster Inside Me’, TV Show (2010-2015), Festivals & Expo’s (2006 – 2009).
I am the bold, exciting Art Director and Production Designer behind a range of top-draw national and international films and TV, inc. Come Dine with Me Australia Promo, and previously held the creative vision of WBC. I am also an active member of Women in Film & Television UK, International Society of Female Professionals and BECTU.

Innately creative with vast experience in art directing, design and digital content production, I guide the look, feel and stories of productions through the creative delivery of graphic packages, toolkits, art photography and promotional assets. A passionate director, who breathes life into ideas, I create solutions that realise on brief and vision. I think both conceptually and commercially in the development of big, bold ideas for creative, artistically led projects, commissions, and campaigns.
