the creative partnership between Gurtie Hansell & Kate Rowan Fernandez

Together we run a small production design company from our home studios in Chicago, working closely with local musicians, filmmakers, screenwriters, directors, and performance artists. Our focus is on creating visual assets for video projects and immersive cultural experiences. We specialize in sourcing second-hand clothing, deadstock fabric, and repurposed materials to craft unique design solutions that support storytelling and world-building. Through costume, set, and prop design, we help bring artistic concepts to life. We’re a real fuckin treat to work with and fun at parties too!
