To celebrate the launch of the new Disney+ series, Alien: Earth, the Barbican was transformed into an immersive, otherworldly environment for its European Premiere. This was a high-stakes physical rollout requiring a seamless blend of the show’s eerie aesthetic with the brutalist architecture of one of London’s most iconic heritage venues.

Working within the Artworking and creative production house build team, I acted as the Lead Artworker while collaborating on the creative direction and asset design. My focus was on ensuring the technical integrity of the entire site build, translating global brand assets into massive physical installs—including a 10m+ red carpet media wall and bespoke environmental graphics—from initial concept through to final installation.
