About me
Melissa Woods is a proud member of the Art Directors Guild and a production designer/art director focusing on sustainable production practices and visual storytelling. She has worked on an array of projects including feature films, television series, short films, web-series, and over 30 theatrical productions in three different timezones, including the Pulitzer Prize winning "Water By the Spoonful".
Melissa moved to Los Angeles in 2016, after completing her MFA in Scenic Design from The University of Arizona. Spending three years immersed in research from every time period, she prides herself on creating realistically detailed worlds that reflect untold/offscreen moments in character's lives. Using visual metaphors, she works with directors and other department heads to provide the most immersive world possible on any variety of budgets. Prepared for nearly any situation, I'm organized and proactive, communicative and receptive!
