Background

About Vanessa Miles

I have been working as a designer/stylist in the film, video, and print industries for the past 20 years. I love storytelling, and especially through visual media. My job is to help directors and producers tell their stories, or the stories of what they are selling, whether they be traditional narrative, commercial, industrial, or a single photograph, by creating coherent worlds shaped and colored thoughtfully with clear intent. My talent is to support plot, character, and concept through the creative use of color, shape, and context. I work to make sure that every element in the image, even the seemingly least noticeable, is there to support, reinforce, strengthen the vision of the story being told. In this cause I have developed a wide breadth of skills: concept design, organization, team management, research, sourcing, set design, prop creation, set decoration, interior design, wardrobe, food styling, color theory, and many more. I am always looking to stay at the front of the design curve, keeping my eye fashion forward, if you will, and to push my innate talents, striving to always be better. My talents, skills, attention to even the most minute of details, combined with a friendly outgoing, and caring personality allow me to help make any production the absolute best that it can be.
