WORK REVIEWS


''Désirée worked as Set Decorator on KAREN PIRIE II, a drama for World Productions. Her contribution to the project was fantastic, proving to be a valuable and successful member of the team. Highly skilled, committed and determined, Désirée remains strong and focused no matter what the challenge. Filming in Malta during peak season was always going to be demanding but with Désirée running the department, I always felt in safe hands. She is organised, dependable and dedicated but just as importantly she is cultured, knowledgeable and fun. Her high-standards and sense of style were a perfect match for our drama. Désirée is self-motivated, smart and talented. She is a joy to work with and her friendly demeanour and positive attitude is contagious.

I think she should consider herself an honorary Scot!''

- Mark Leese, Production Designer UK, 2024.



''I was lucky enough to work with Desiree this summer on a particularly challenging project that required us both to recreate multiple European cities on a tight schedule, all within the versatile and stunning locations Malta has to offer. I found her effortless dedication to taste, quality and delivery to be outstanding at every turn, always providing support and exceptional sets in the face of any obstacle. I can’t wait to work with her again, a great navigator in stormy seas.''

-Joe Barcham, Production Designer UK, 2024.



''I recently worked with Désirée on an Amazon show called ''Alex Rider'' and i have nothing but positive things to say about her contribution to the show. She was so organised when things were a little crazy, she had a great eye and was more than happy to be flexible and step in when anything was a little behind. She was so supportive and working with her was an absolute joy and a pleasure. Please feel free to contact me if you need any more details. I would have her on my team if she was UK-based.''

- Tim Dickel, Production Designer UK, 2023.



''Désirée is a hugely talented team player who brings creativity, energy, and a keen eye to the department. She was invaluable with her knowledge and broad skill set and I wouldn't want to be without her working in Malta.''

- Hannah Hill, Production Designer UK, 2022.



''While working with Désirée I was always sure that I can count on her, no matter what- she was always present before anyone else and put hours and energy beyond anyone could ask for. Eager-to-learn and improve her skills at all times, it mattered to her each day that she showed up in full capacity, while always kind and hardworking on the highest level. I dearly hope I get the chance to work with her again in the future.''

- Janka Erdely, Art Director, Hungary, 2022.
