Annie Atkins

This week's episode features Annie Atkins, a leading voice in the world of graphic props and design for film. Based in Dublin, Ireland, Annie has designed graphic pieces for multiple Oscar-nominated films: including the animated feature The Boxtrolls, Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies and West Side Story, and Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs, French Dispatch, and the Grand Budapest Hotel – the latter which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Production Design. We talk about her early career which was full of fits and starts as she found her niche. You can hear her love of history and research throughout the conversation, especially when she talks about designing in character—and the way imperfect assets feel more real.  Follow us on Instagram @rgdcanada or visit us online at rgd.ca.
