Meet the Designer
Meet Production Designer Becky Sloan
Becky is a film maker specialising in costume, puppet design and set design and is the co-creator of the surreal puppet series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Originally created as a YouTube short, the project went on to become a Channel 4 series and won a BAFTA for Production Design.
Alongside her directing partner Joe Pelling, Becky has also created music videos for Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Their work is known for its handmade techniques, blending puppetry, live action, and animation.
Since becoming a parent, Becky has become increasingly interested in the world of children’s creativity. She will be in the shed for six weeks making sensory costumes and props inspired by Young V&A's collections.
Come and say hello during a 'Meet the Designer' event and see the progress of her project.
