I’m Virginie Taylor (she/her), a theatre video and creative captions designer based in London. I am drawn to contemporary plays that ask hard questions, and to work that looks honestly at the world we share. My work is colourful, playful and curious, with a soft spot for the small moments of tenderness that hold a story together.

I build visuals from feelings first, with textures, rhythms, and placements that carry meaning without shouting it. I love handmade processes, hand drawings, 60s-style liquid light shows, stop motion, and capturing surprising details found under a microscope or using a scanner. I also create motion graphics animation when it is the right tool, and I move freely between analogue experiments and animation. I draw inspiration from everyday life as much as from other art forms, and I let that mix guide the choices I make.

I design video worlds with projection and screen surfaces that shape atmosphere, scale and point of view. Sometimes the work is immersive and expansive. Sometimes it is minimal and precise. Whether it is a flashing kaleidoscope of neon signs or a quiet backdrop that lets performers breathe, I aim for images that feel alive, specific to the story, and honest to the room we are in.

Creative captioning lives inside the world of the show and inside each character. I love building this in conversation with the team. I echo how the sound design sits in the space, and I like to lean into onomatopoeia, symbols and motion. Captions can flicker, swell or drift so they move like the moment. I thread with set architecture so captions feel native to the stage picture. I collaborate with costume as another read on character, and I choose fonts with the same care, sometimes giving each character a typeface that reflects them. I stay in dialogue with lighting so captions support the atmosphere, glow, soften, or stand apart when the story asks.

I care about kindness, open minds and time to experiment. I like rooms where ideas are shared early, tested quickly, and collaboration leads us to clear choices. I seek out work that speaks plainly about the world, sometimes gently and sometimes radically. I am especially interested in political theatre that invites audiences to think and feel, and to carry that energy beyond the room. I aim to keep the intention clear and honest because it matters.
