JOHN MCHUGH DESIGN SERVICES:

My track record offers a multi skill set in design, set dressing, construction, prop making and graphics which is drawn on years of experience that first began in interior and retail design before moving across into TV.

Then building on an extensive portfolio working as a TV production designer that combined both art dept and set decorating duties, my capabilities became a valuable asset to a range of Film and HETV band projects.

My current CV demonstrates an ability to oversee both departments proficiently and stylistically, affording a cost conscious production the best of both worlds. Plus, in relation to the scale of project can adjust to suit any creative team being a solid supportive player, whether as production designer, supervising art director, senior art director or set decorator.

Recently worked with Sam Taylor Johnson on Amy Winehouse biopic feature film Back To Black as SAD, representing production designer Sarah Greenwood (Barbie) for a series of key pick up shots.

Home Coming Queen Logo

At the start of 2023 I worked for American production designer John Collins as SAD on comedy feature film Homecoming Queen shooting in Morocco and Spain with Nzingha Stewart directing. This was produced by Amblin in partnership with Netflix, though unfortunately production had to be shut down after just 2 months prep due to unforeseen circumstances.

Besides having qualified as a counsellor back in 2015, in May 2023 I became a Mental Health First Aider. This is a role I am passionate about and felt a duty as a seasoned professional to be of service not only to an Art Dept, but the wider spectrum of production crew whilst on a project, since the industry is also taking serious note to address every individuals well being.
