Kate van der Merwe

PRODUCTION DESIGNER | ART DIRECTOR | SET DECORATOR

I have loved the Cape Town Film Industry for 25 years now.
With a deep interest in Story telling, design details, fabrics and architecture through out various periods.
I have grown over the years through Props mastering, Set dressing, Decorating, Art Direction and Production Design. (For this I have been awarded a SAFTA and an Amanda award in Norway)

Whether it’s heading the Art Department, or just being part of a bigger team, I believe encouragement and good morale in the Art Department is when the magic happens. We should never stop learning from each other.

Be it film, episodic, TVC’s, or Music Videos, I approach each project with creative enthusiasm, and have Production designed for Amazon Prime, Netflix, CNN, and Norwegian Cinema.
I have Art Directed for Universal Pictures, Hulu Germany.
I have Decorated films for Amazon Prime, German Cinema, and others

I reside in Cape Town, but also hold a British Passport.
