Jon Dowding studied fine arts and painting before attending The Royal College of Art Film School in London. In Australia he quickly made his mark as an award-winning film designer.

Jon’s feature film achievements span four decades and an array of Australian and international classics; from Mad Max and The Blue Lagoon to Roadgames, Paperback Hero, Amy and the cult comedy Hercules Returns. Recent productions include Fred Schepisi’s multi-award winning adaptation of The Eye of the Storm, the confronting short film Adele, and most recently the psycho-sexual thriller The Second released in July 2018.

Jon creates wonderfully atmospheric and detailed pen, ink and pencil drawings to explain his visions; encouraging close alliances between classic Designer, Director, Cinematographer and Decorators.
