I'm Giorgi Barnabishvili, a Set & Studio Designer with 15+ years of experience creating immersive, high-impact environments for international television, iGaming platforms, and branded live events. I thrive on building camera-optimized studio sets that balance visual storytelling, lighting design, and technical precision—often under tight live-broadcast deadlines. I've led creative development for global formats including Dancing with the Stars (BBC), The Voice, So You Think You Can Dance, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and Money Drop. In the iGaming space I delivered branded studio environments for Evolution, Stake, and DraftKings, blending real-time gameplay with immersive brand presence. I also design custom stage setups and activations for brands like Porsche, Coca-Cola, and YouTube, including large-scale public events and trade exhibitions. I'm passionate about LED systems, smart lighting, and projection mapping, and I bring hands-on production leadership across metal structures, welding, materials, lighting, acoustics, and live rigging—from first sketch to final build.
