Art Director | Set Designer

My name is Alexandra Chem and I work in the film and television industry as an Art Director and Set Designer.

Before that I used my architecture degree designing and PM’ing custom luxury projects around the world. In short – I enjoy designing experiences, telling stories and creating meaningful work.
