Special Skills

Visual World-Building

I design environments that don’t just look good—they tell a story. From sets to props, I create visual worlds that reflect characters, themes, and tone.

Concept Development

I take a script or idea and develop it into a strong visual concept using moodboards, references, and creative research—bridging the gap between imagination and screen.

Resourceful Design on a Budget

Whether it's a short film or a passion project, I know how to stretch a pound. I use clever styling, DIY builds, and smart sourcing to create cinematic spaces at any budget.

Melfin is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her work is passionate, inspiring and endlessly original. During our work together on Homecoming, Melfin brought a keen eye and sharp attention to detail, as we recreated the gritty setting of a North-East clubhouse. She is a pleasure to work with.

Jacob Vickers

Director of Homecoming

Working with Melfin on my short film, Fast-Firming Wand, was great. She brought creative production design ideas, despite our minuscule budget, and was flexible and friendly - aligning with my vision for the film while bringing her own sensibilities. I would happily work with her again!

Kristin Duffy

Director of Fast Firming Wand

Melfin Pereira is the GOAT… and I don’t use that moniker lightly. Not only is she creative, incredibly detail oriented, and passionate, but she also happens to be a genuinely kind person and lovely to work with. Melfin has the ability to see a story on the page and bring it to life in ways I never could have dreamed of myself. If you want someone truly amazing, call Melfin. You won’t regret it.

Lilly Kennedy

Producer at Kennedy Stock Productions 

I approached Melfin to be my production designer on my next film. I knew she had the skill set and knowledge to bring my world to life. In pre-production, she broke down every one of my drafts suggesting changes when due and letting me know the best way to achieve my vision.

On set, she was outstanding working extremely hard and leading her team to success with strong communication skills. Her attention to detail was infinite as she carefully crafted the world we had built together.

I would highly recommend Melfin as a production designer.
