KAIA TUNGAL
Production Design / Art Direction
ABOUT
I am a freelance Production Designer and Art Director from Tallinn, Estonia. Although mainly concentrated on film, I have a 10 year experience in design for commercials, music videos, theatre, interior architecture and event design - all with the common denominators - narrative and space.
I have a background in scenography and production design, currently lecturing on the subject at the Estonian Academy of Arts. I have a MA degree in interior architecture as well as dystopian literature. I've built my career around building interesting worlds, ideally one with an exciting twist.
Collaboration with different production companies (US, UK, Europe and Asia), film festivals, architecture companies and agencies have helped me develop my technical skills, including CAD, 3D modelling, model making, Photoshop, Illustrator, budget management, set building - all necessary for tackling international projects in different scale.
In 2018 we founded a production design company - Set Set Studio - that aims to provide production and spatial design services to projects currently around the Baltics and Nordic Countries. See our web page for more information: https://www.setsetstudio.com/.
