Jose Daniel is a Mexican production designer based in LA, drawn to bold, eccentric, world-building-driven stories. He earned a BA in Industrial Design and studied abroad in Melbourne, Jerusalem, and Tokyo. He later discovered his passion for production design while working at The Walt Disney Company Mexico. Since then, he has worked on projects for Disney, Sony, and Warner Bros, bringing his vision to genres such as sci-fi, horror, and musicals.
His work includes collaborating as an art director on the project CUANDO VOLVIMOS A LA TIERRA, a finalist in the McDonald's Spotlight Dorado short film contest, and as Production Designer in the richly imagined period short THE WITCH PRICKER AND THE HARE, which premiered at Sidewalk Film Festival.
Jose holds an MFA in Production Design from the AFI Conservatory and continues to grow in the art department, aiming to bring his intricate designs to life on the big screen.
