Available to hire
I’m Sam Ogden, a Designer and Art Director with IATSE Local 800. I craft production design for TV, film, and live events, leading creative teams to build immersive environments. My approach combines hands-on craft with collaborative problem solving to create compelling visuals that support the story.
I’m passionate about blending traditional craft like mural painting, hand-drawing, and model-building with digital tools such as ArchiCAD, Twinmotion, and Unreal Engine to bring sets to life.
