Daisy King

With seven years’ freelance experience in the Art Department and Set Dec across commercials and television, I have built a solid and versatile foundation working in styling, buying and assistant art direction. This background has given me strong practical skills in budgeting, managing purchase orders, scheduling, and problem-solving under pressure, alongside a detailed understanding of visual storytelling. I have developed trusted working relationships with London-based prop houses and suppliers, and I am confident sourcing, dressing and delivering to a high standard within tight timeframes.

Accustomed to fast-paced productions and high levels of responsibility, I thrive in collaborative environments where adaptability and clear communication are essential. In recent projects, I have stepped up into design responsibilities, taking a more hands-on role in developing visual concepts, overseeing prop sourcing, dressing, and supporting the creative vision from prep through to shoot. This progression has strengthened my confidence in leading areas of the department while maintaining a practical, solutions-focused approach on set.

I have experience being hands-on in commercial shoots and Drama series as well as set decoration and the buying process in the prep period. I believe it is a skill I have to tell a story with props as well as fulfilling the client’s needs and help promote their brand.

Taking the role of assistant art director has allowed me to develop my experience into being in a position of decision making and responsibility. This has helped me work calmly under pressure and independently whilst doing multiple tasks.

I work in Commercials and Drama.
