Abbie Vance has 10 years of experience in Art Departments for film and television. Her passion for all aspects of visual storytelling has taken her into the roles of Production Designer, Art Director, Property Master, and more.
A graduate of the AFI Conservatory in Production Design (class of 2022), her film credits as Production Designer include For Worse (2026), and Young Blood (2027, Unreleased). Her design of the short film Gather (2018) was awarded “Best Production Design” at Final Cut Film Festival 2018. Her commercial clients include CHAGEE USA and Team Liquid. She is known for large-scale set builds on small-scale budgets, including medieval-period rural France (Carcass, 2022) and comedic 1st-century Nazareth (Teen Mary, 2025).
With a deep passion for film history and theory, she specializes in high-concept genre pictures that prioritize the uniquenesses of the film medium. Raised in rural Montana without a traditional education, she built her career by determination– painting, dressing, and constructing her way into the art department.

She combines creativity with practicality to maximize every frame of every project.
