À propos de Sara

I’m an architect specialising in art direction and visual design for escape rooms and immersive spaces. I help owners turn a script into a whole new world of their own.

I work on all scales, from concept art to detailed building plans for props: from visual research and moodboards to environment and props design, and detailed visual bibles with texts, illustrations, materials and references for builders. I’ve worked on sci-fi spaceship, Far West and Merlin-inspired escape rooms, as well as a short-film set.

My goal is to create immersive rooms that offer a complete experience for the player. I work fully remotely, in English and French, and I’m comfortable with both long-term projects and shorter, focused missions (for example: moodboard phase, art pass on an existing room, or a complete visual dossier).

    For this project, I handled the art direction and visual design of a sci-fi spaceship escape room, working fully remotely. The work was structured in two phases: first exploring several visual directions through moodboards and references to define the overall atmosphere, then developing a detailed visual bible so the team had a clear guide for building the final set.

    • Created moodboards for the main spaces (cells, command room, teleportation room) with alternative visual options and references.
    • Defined the look & feel of each area: wall treatments, materials, doors, props and “damage” elements (cracks, leaks, cables, smoke, etc.).
    • Designed lighting intentions for normal vs. alert modes, and how they evolve during the scenario in each room.
    • Added world-building details such as screens, pipes, signage and fictional languages to reinforce immersion.
    • Delivered a written and illustrated document summarising design intent, key references and practical notes for the builders and owners.

    • Proposed prop concepts based on scenario and art direction.

    • Researched outsourcing, materials, colours, finishes and technical constraints for each object.
    • Considered basic scenography around each prop so it fits naturally in the room.
    • Ensured strong links between props, narrative and gameplay.

    • Designed props that matched the narrative and Western atmosphere.
    • Chose materials and construction methods adapted to intensive use (woodworking, assembly, durability).
    • Hand-built the props: cutting, sanding, assembling, laser engraving, painting and ageing effects.
    • Took part in the on-site installation and integration of the props into the room.
