What I do
I work Art Department on Film, TV and Commercials: Props, Scenography, Set-design and Production Design, and I assist others with the same vigour as when I take charge myself.
I have many skills and plenty of experience, some of which is listed below.
My background
With a BA in Philosophy and Anthropology and MA in Philosophy, my educational background summarises the interest I carry in the human experience, as well as my interest in observing and analysing the world. These skills and this interest manifests in my work through (among other things) a catalogued experience of different humans, cultures, emotions and concept, ready to paint new pictures on the big screen, creating or adding to the world in the script or the message of the director, designer or others.
I am also well-versed in open dialogue, and one of my favourite parts of the artistic process is exploring the world of the script together with the director, production designer, camera and colleagues.
Furthermore, I have experience as a manager in retail and working the technical department of various cinemas, which has effectively taught me how to handle my management role as well as hardware and software of most kinds.

PERSONAL SKILLS
Diplomacy and Leadership - A skill often neglected in the artistic world, which puts me slightly ahead of my colleagues with increased focus on efficiency at the workplace, good communication and a comfortable work environment.
Budgeting and Planning - Keeping any interested parties up to date, I take notes, measure and budget actively throughout the work-process if necessary.
Creative and realistic - In work and conceptualisation, I am very good at communicating what is possible; what might be lost and what might be gained.
Keeping it cool even in the most stressfull situation - Sometimes we have to hurry, but there is no use in running into walls (or each other).
Positive mindset - We will always find a solution.
... and a plethora of practical skills such as: Driving old, new, large and small vehicles, using various tools (I have my own for rent), painting, using electronic and motorised special equipment, making deals etc.
