<h2 style="white-space:pre-line">Crafting Visual Stories in Los Angeles</h2>
<p>I’m a British set dresser, art director, prop master, and set builder based in Los Angeles, with a background in furniture design at Rycotewood College , Oxford. My work combines hands-on craftsmanship with a sharp eye for visual storytelling—spanning set dressing, prop sourcing, bespoke fabrication, and large-scale builds. Whether crafting period-accurate details or imaginative, stylised worlds, I focus on creating environments that feel authentic, atmospheric, and alive.</p>

Testimonials

“Joe is one of the most reliable and driven crew members I’ve worked with. He anticipates needs before anyone asks, brings creative solutions even on small budgets, and adds real value to every project. His natural talent for set dressing and production design, combined with his positive energy, makes him an asset to any team.” 

"I was only able to hire one person for a huge indie feature film, the person I called was Joe Saunders. He is brilliant, creative, resilient and most of all loyal to the craft. He was my prop master who also doubled as my set builder, art director, and set dresser. If you’re looking for a multi-talented art department member or most importantly a props master Joe Saunders is the man you call."

“I can already see Joe running his own prop shop with a team one day.”
