I’m Adriana Faria, a production designer and art director who bridges architecture, design, and cinematic storytelling with a hands-on, collaborative approach. Over the past two decades I’ve led art departments for feature films, shorts, and high-impact campaigns, shaping spaces that resonate emotionally and visually. I thrive in close collaboration with directors and cinematographers to craft physical environments that deepen mood, narrative, and character. I’ve built a practice blending fine arts training with architectural sensibilities to design scalable sets, mood boards, and production workflows across London, Milan, and São Paulo, focusing on visual depth, materials, and rigorous research to bring scripts to life.
