I’m Valeria Di Bella, a MetFilm graduate specialised in Production Design with a calm, curious approach and a talent for making fast-paced sets run smoothly. Over the past three years, I’ve supported studio logistics, set readiness, and pre-shoot preparation—coordinating bookings, vendors, and communications while paying close attention to detail. Alongside film work, I’ve built strong client-facing and operational experience in luxury retail and hospitality, where I’m used to maintaining high standards, resolving issues quickly, and staying organised under pressure. Whether I’m supporting art department tasks like set dressing, props, continuity, and CAD/technical drawings, or helping with administrative and social content for productions, I bring reliability, warmth, and adaptability to every project.
