Highly experienced, Jason's career began with a degree in Illustration and a postgraduate in Design for Film and TV. He became a storyboard artist, then an art director and for the last 20+ years, a production designer - working all over the UK, Ireland, Malta, Bulgaria, Italy, Tunisia and Canada.

"Jason worked with us on The Inheritance for C5 last year and we found him a joy to work with. Imaginative and knew how to make a very small budget work - and look far more on screen than the funding allowed. He took briefs from the writer and director really well - and came out on budget. It was a very tight production schedule so his ability to deliver to deadlines was much appreciated. We are currently filming another drama which I would have booked him for in a heartbeat had regional tax breaks not got in the way. So yes I recommend him! " Executive Producer Inheritance Channel 5 - Lonesome Pine.
"You've created a diverse and beautiful world which will utterly seduce and involve the audience. You should be very proud of your achievements on this signature drama." Executive Producer, INNOCENT
"Thank you so much for jumping in and turning the ailing ship around. You did a brilliant job and it was a true pleasure to work with you." Director, LUTHER
"You have brought a wonderful visual vocabulary to the show and have always exceeded the expectations." Executive Producer, SILENT WITNESS
"You did an amazing job on the series, every set was beautifully thought through and executed, without you none of it would have looked a quarter as wonderful!" Director, GRANTCHESTER
"You have done a beautiful job on the farm and the farmhouse. It looks so authentic, charming and just right. As you know, I'm super impressed with the level of care and attention you have taken with the design - I'm so happy! Congratulations on your amazing contribution to the film." Creator/Producer/Director, CHRISTMAS AT MISTLETOE FARM
"You're a hugely talented Production Designer, and I'm so pleased you joined us on 'Crongton'. I really enjoyed working with you too - I hope we can do it again sometime soon. Producer New Pictures Crongton.
"We were so lucky to find you to step in when we needed you and the team have cemented a look for this show that is completely stunning and utterly unique " Executive Producer New Pictures Crongton
