Elvis
Elvis is a biographical drama directed by Baz Luhrmann, charting the life and legacy of Elvis Presley - from his Southern childhood to his meteoric rise as a global icon, and the complicated dynamic with his longtime manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, the film was released theatrically in 2022. As part of the Graphics Team, I worked alongside Jessica Barrell, Alex Moy, and Sam Dabrowski to develop period-authentic graphic props and design elements. I also produced concept art to support the visual approval process, helping to shape the film’s bold, stylised aesthetic. The Art Department was led by Production Designers Catherine Martin and Karen Murphy, with Ian Gracie as Supervising Art Director and a highly collaborative team across set decoration, props, and design.
