With a background in the fine arts, Deacon is able to adapt her keen eye of the visual across multiple platforms and considers film to be one of the most versatile mediums for artistic expression. She began making experimental film is her teens, drawing inspiration from such rule-bending visionaries as Fellini and Warhol. She interned with Jerry Bruckheimer and continued her studies at Otis College of Art and Design, San Francisco’s Academy of Art University and New York Film Academy, where she received her BA in Filmmaking. Since graduating, Deacon’s interest in production design has led her to become involved in several spatial design projects, giving her the opportunity to hone her skills in interior, architectural and landscape design.
