Ashlie Adams is an Austin based designer and artist. Her work experience includes production design, art direction, and set decoration for narrative feature and short films, music videos, commercials, and live activations.
She studied theater, set design, and textile design at the University of North Texas. After graduating she moved to East Africa (Uganda and Tanzania). She spent two years working with Kyambogo University's textile program and Department for the Performing Arts and Film, Kitebe teen center, and a multitude of art and humanitarian based non profits in the pursuit to support orphaned youth, refugees, and artist communities. She returned to the States to pursue a degree in Architecture from Portland State University.
Ashlie's film and commercial career is the culmination of her studies, passion for people, sense of humor and eye for detail. Her approach to design is building a world that lives and breathes with all the layers necessary to tell the story, working in collaboration with the director and her team to make magic, with a great understanding of color and light, framing and balance.
Ashlie has a great deal of respect for what goes into creating the work that we do in this industry. A high level of professionalism and knowledge of how to build out a budget, schedules, shot lists, mood boards and design decks, as well as very hands on tech scouting, collaborating closely and comfortably with camera, lighting, scripty and the ability to staff a skilled art crew have gotten her to where she is today.
Past commercial and editorial clients include Leon Bridges, Wrangler, Ford Bronco, Toyota Tundra, Target, Snickers, Google, Verizon, AT&T, Select Health Insurance, Lowe's Home Improvement, Tito's Vodka, Shiner Boch, Lonestar Beer, and Boston Brewing Company. xo
