Hillary Andujar
Production Designer
I'm a freelance production designer and installation artist—capable of making anything—with a knack for the dark, quirky, and surreal. Though home is the Bay Area, I work all over the globe with names like Woody Allen, Tim Burton, Terri Timely, La Blogothèque, BAMM.tv, and Google.
When I'm not on film crews, I like to create installations and experiences including but not limited to extreme psychedelic costuming. I'm also a VJ, providing dreamy visuals and projections with my media art collective, The Pineal Gland.
In addition, I'm a collage artist, a synesthete, a symbolist, a mystic, an expert dreamer, and an adventurer. I read a book a month and tap dance in my free time.
