CLAIRE GRITTEN
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
01 about
My journey over the past 16 years has been quite the rollercoaster with every high being a new skill learned, and every low a new problem solved.
I picked up skills (and tools) in each department that I worked in. I started as a photography assistant, it helped me understand light, composition and it definitely honed my photoshop skills. Thereafter, I moved into production, where I honed my project management and organisational skills. I then really threw everyone for a loop when I studied patisserie and added food styling to the menu. It was the gateway to the film industry for me, followed by some time in the wardrobe/costume department. Set design and construction was a natural next step. The Art department is where I developed the most and have stayed as Art Director for the last 10 years.
I’ve worked on many different projects; features, series, reality TV, and music video or two, but most of my showreel consists of local and international commercials.
I am a multitool. I give my all to every job and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.

03 teamwork
Teamwork makes the dream work! I am not a soloist. I have an amazing team that I have trained over many years. Without them, I can not do what I do. This is a team sport!
