Practical, down to earth but still a true creative. Shelly Bergh is a stylist known for being organised and structured in her approach. She is a Prop & Decor Stylist and Art Director who loves to think on her feet. Her path to Styling began with a degree in Fine Arts, followed by an employment as a fabricator, working for the entertainment industry in South Africa and London. Later on Shelly accepted work as a scenic painter on movie sets. This work experience allows her today to design sets, follow creative briefs and work with set builders, knowing what can and can't be done. Shelly can draw plans, has a good eye at judging scale and size and can lead an art department team. She enjoys being given the snip of an idea and allowed to build a story, at the same time she is able to work closely to a director's / client's brief.
