PRODUCTION DESIGNER | ART DIRECTOR
M-j has been weaving her magic and sprinkling her gold dust on creative ideas throughout South Africa, Europe, America, Seychelles, and Mauritius, Kenya & Namibia for over 25 years, while at the same time keeping an iron-fist control on the budget. She is totally committed to anticipating the film director’s needs and to interpreting his vision into an end result that surpasses his expectations.
On both features, commercials and other visual genres, her positive “let’s make it happen” attitude ensures that the project evolves to be the best that it can be. M-j’s talent and artistic expression is strongly underscored by her Graphic Art Diploma (Michaels School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town), as is apparent in the versatility of myriad styles showcased in her work.
Although she majored in photography, which remains one of her primary artistic expressions, she has embraced many art disciplines including abstract painting, paint effects, jewellery design and manufacture. She is also an accomplished Interior Designer and Landscape gardener.
Passionate about nature and the outdoors, M-j lives on a farm 40 minutes from Cape Town that serves as her studio and props warehouse, and where she keeps her award winning German Shepherd dogs and her Appaloosa Stallion.
ACTION VEHICLE COORDINATOR
With over 13 years of experience as an Action Vehicle Coordinator, I have sourced and managed vehicles for a wide range of projects, including international and local commercials, docudramas, movies, and Series. I have solid experience in coordinating “Mystery” (unreleased models) car logistics for commercials from Dacia to Aston Martin. Vintage vehicles hold a very special place in my heart and they, of course, come with special needs on set. I’ve worked alongside stunt teams when planning stunts, directors, when choreographing traffic jams and car wrecks; production teams with planning and when a quick fix is required.

ACTION VEHICLES COORDINATOR
As an Action Vehicle Coordinator in the film industry, I bring precision, creativity, and fearless leadership to every set I step onto. With a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics and cinematic storytelling, I specialize in orchestrating high-impact scenes where cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles become characters in their own right. My journey has taken me from vehicle sourcing and good client relationships to blockbuster productions, where I’ve worked alongside stunt teams, directors, and production crews to choreograph vehicle sequences that are as safe as they are spectacular. Whether it’s a high-speed chase through city streets or a convoy rolling through rugged terrain, I ensure every movement is timed to perfection and every vehicle is ready for action. In a space where women are still carving out their place, I’ve built a reputation for excellence, resilience, and collaboration. I thrive under pressure, adapt quickly, and bring a unique perspective to the art of vehicular storytelling—proving that grit and grace can coexist behind the wheel. With deep respect for all crew.
