About
Vanessa Miles
Production Designer
With over 20 years experience in production design and art direction for film, broadcast and theatre, I can design just what you are looking for (or don’t know yet that you are looking for) in your next film, television/web show, commercial, music video, stage production or print photography. I do what it takes to make sure your production looks amazing, and to best support the story you are telling.
I will assemble an art department team custom fit for your production, made up of the best talent and workers around. We provide production design, set design, pre-visualization, construction, decoration, and dressing, as well as props from pre-production on up through shooting, and post(as needed).
My goal is always to make the world of your story truly come to life.

Vanessa is an incredibly hard worker who delivers phenomenal results on time and under budget. I would recommend her as highly as possible for any production designing job you may have.

Vanessa Miles was hired to work in the Art Department of my latest feature film, INTO TEMPTATION, starring Kristin Chenoweth and Jeremy Sisto, and in relatively short order was promoted to one of the two Art Directors on the project. She is incredibly talented with a great eye. She understands that what elevates something from good to great are the little details and she is painstaking about them. But more than that, she brings a great work ethic to the table and a very positive spirit. She is really fun to be around. I will beg Vanessa to come work for me again on every film I do.

Vanessa is a talented creative. While at ShopNBC, I worked with Vanessa in styling creative set and prop design for promos and content show support. Each project brought it's own set of challenges and Vanessa was always up to the task. She easily understood the vision of each project, and while completing the requirements, she continually surprised me with her unique touch of creative flair that really made the project special. I definitely recommend Vanessa !!!

Vanessa is an awesome production designer! She exhibits incredible attention to detail, 110% commitment to any project she's involved in, and all around passion for the craft. Always a pleasure to work with!
Director of Photography
Heidi Haaland
t is difficult to choose only three top attributes to describe Vanessa and her approach to her work. She is meticulous and passionate about her craft and is extremely courteous and diplomatic in her dealings with others. She was a godsend to our film and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any project.

Vanessa is a great colleague and trusted friend. We've done more work together in the independent world than the corporate but in either case, she's been a dedicated professional and a pleasure to work with. She has a devotion to her craft that translates into attention to detail and tireless dedication to every project she works on. I will continue to hire Vanessa every chance I get.
