Razorland is set in a post-apocalyptic New York City where people have taken refuge in underground communities, exploring themes of survival and identity in a broken world.
New York’s old abandoned City Hall station was a big inspiration – a beautifully ornate space now left to be forgotten beneath the city. Using this as a foundation, I created a set that hints at a past lavish lifestyle but has since decayed into a smoke-filled refuge. My design adopted the stations elaborate style but layered it with the corrosion and grime that would come from years of the space being repurposed for a use it was never designed to withstand. The end product is a set that reflects both the memory of a lost world and the harshness of the one that remains.

Initially delighted at the low rent on the old Victorian house the four young students grow increasingly curious about the strange noises coming from the attic and decide to investigate.
As a recent graduate in Design for Film, I have spent the past four years specializing in production design. My studies have provided me with a strong foundation in AutoCAD, Sketchup, and storyboarding, all of which I use to bring scripts to life.
I’m especially interested in drafting and 3D modeling, using these tools to explore how space and structure contribute to storytelling. I aspire to design spaces that not only stand out visually but also reflect the story’s themes and emotions.
In my final year, I designed for a variety of genres – from horror to dystopian fiction to a stage play reimagined as a film – strengthening my flexibility and creative approach across varying styles.
