From collaborators
“I worked with Iris Jacobs on the television drama series Suspicious Minds (5 × 25 min), for which she had the task of completely designing and furnishing a former office into a believable home. Not only did she manage to do that, she was also able to create an atmosphere that gave the series its unique look.”
“It has been a wonderful experience to be involved with Iris in the different projects we have shared. Her talented energy and her sensibility towards everything she does. Her exacting and accurate taste with the scene in all its elements and details. Above all her very creative outlook towards all the artistic possibilities in cinema and theatre… and… life!”
“I got to know Iris as a passionate art director. She has a very good eye and a perfect sense of color and composition. All the projects I did with Iris she did with the same enthusiasm. She tackles small projects efficiently and purposefully, but she also handles the organisation and coordination of a larger team without any problems. She offers a wide selection of choices but always within the production design frames she decided. Iris is a professional but also a very pleasant personality to have on set.”
“I enjoy working with Iris. She is a very dedicated, passionate and professional allround art director & director. With her enthusiasm, creativity and personality she brings every set to life.”
