What does your role involve?

As a graphic designer, I work with my colleague, Eduardo Lima, to envision and make realistic universes for films. Anything that necessities to pass on a message outwardly is our transmit. Along these lines, for the Harry Potter films, that is things like The Daily Prophet paper, Harry's Hogwarts acknowledgment letter or the bundling for Weasley's Wizard Wheezes joke shop items.

Graphic designer was anything but an authority job in the entertainment world when I began. There were consistently individuals planning props with realistic components however it wasn't actually perceived as a particular job. There used to be around six individuals doing this sort of work for film in this country and now there are more than 300 so I think it got evident to the business that that job should have been characterized and recognized

What have you chipped away at? 

We've dealt with all the Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts films, just as various other Wizarding World commissions including planning all the realistic components for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando Resort. Our studio, MinaLima, has likewise made realistic props for films like Sweeney Todd, The Golden Compass, and The Imitation Game. Outside of film, we've delineated a top-rated book arrangement for HarperCollins and set up an exhibition and store to feature our work. 

How could you land your position? 

I did an Art establishment course and afterward a Theater Design capability. From that point onward, I contemplated Film Design at the National Film and Television School (NFTS). On the board for my NFTS meet was Stuart Craig, who proceeded to be the creation fashioner for the Harry Potter films. He upheld me and turned into a tutor figure. I left NFTS a year ahead of schedule since I had a bid for employment through one of my guides.

I built up my experience of working in the art department and eventually as a graphic prop designer, for films. At that point, in 2000, I got a call from Stuart offering me a four-month spell on the Harry Potter films, which transformed into years! It's the place where I met Eduardo, who I proceeded to set up a planned studio. 

What's your vocation feature? 

Finding the opportunity to do Harry Potter from the very first moment to now – around 20 years after the fact – has been inconceivable. At the point when we completed the first eight movies, it was just the start of another part with our studio and undertakings that keep on testing us.
