Sharine Taylor is an award-winning director transitioning into working within the art department. As a production designer, her interdisciplinary approach to designing is informed by her desire to create a culturally-sensitive and relevant universe that creates intimacy between characters, their environment and audience.

As an art director, she brings her sensibilities of working in different departments within production-producer, production manager, screenwriter and director-to the fore and as a means of creating a comprehensive pathway for her department to succeed.
