“Learn as if you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Hi, I’m Tabitha, an award-winning production and spatial designer with a background in Interior Architecture and Design. I pride myself on three values: authenticity, tenacity and eccentricity.


I’ve always been curious about the relationship between story, space and visual experience. When I see a colour, texture, shape or object, I imagine what is being communicated before a word is spoken. To me, good design starts with a clear narrative. Where there is a story, I build the world around it. Outside of design, I write poetry, using language as another way to explore narrative and inform my visual practice.

I have worked across award-winning music and independent film projects, developing concepts from start to finish through producing moodboards, 3D visualisations and hands-on set builds to translate ideas into physical spaces. Alongside this, I work across commercial, editorial and bespoke residential projects, developing distinctive visual identities tailored to client briefs and managing projects from concept to completion.

I enjoy the process of watching a world take shape, from the first strange idea through research and development to when it comes to life. I am drawn to unconventional ideas, and I challenge myself to make them believable to others. My experience in production coordination has taught me that a strong idea needs communication, organisation and collaboration to get it over the line. If there is an ambitious project, I’m drawn to the challenge of helping a project move from concept to reality, keeping people excited about it and understanding how to use the strengths in a team.

If you’re looking to build a world, I’m ready to bring it to life.
