Raleigh Production Designer + Art Director
Making the magic happen, down to every detail.
Full-Service Art Department
Production Designer & Art Director
Hi, I’m Ashley.
I’m a Production Designer and Art Director based in Raleigh, NC, bringing productions to life with vibrant imagery and thoughtful design. I lead a full-service art department from concept through wrap, handling sourcing, set dressing, props, graphics, and on-set execution.
-
I lead the visual direction of each production from concept through execution—working closely with directors, agencies, and clients to design the world, build the right art department crew, source and create what’s needed, and bring every detail together on set. I manage the art department budget, schedule, and team while keeping the creative vision at the center of the process.

I lead the art department through execution—translating the creative vision into sets, props, color, texture, and all the details that make the world feel complete. As Art Director, I manage crew, sourcing, budgets, and on-set execution while collaborating closely with the production’s creative leads from prep through wrap.

Item descriptionMy crew and I provide full-service art department support from prep through wrap, including sourcing, set dressing, props, graphics, specialty builds, and on-set execution. We scale to fit the needs of each production while keeping the creative, logistics, and details moving together under one lead.

My team and I curate, source, and style the elements that bring a set to life—from furniture and décor to props and finishing details. We create cohesive, camera-ready spaces that support the visual direction, maintain continuity, and stay flexible throughout the shoot as the production evolves.

My team and I source, rent, purchase, and create the props that bring a production to life. From everyday objects to hard-to-find details, we track down what the project needs and make sure every element supports the visual direction and overall look of the production.

Need a prop without recognizable branding? I design custom non-descript graphics and packaging for productions, from cereal boxes and pill bottles to magazine covers and everyday products. Browse the Prop Shop for ready-made options, or reach out for a custom piece created to fit your production.
