Who was the production designer on 2026 Oscar winner Frankenstein?

Tamara Deverell was the production designer on the 2026 Oscar-winning film Frankenstein.

Deverell won the Academy Award for Production Design for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which was honored at the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026. Her work established the film’s visual world, including its environments, architecture, interiors, machinery, and period atmosphere.

The Oscar category recognizes two connected roles: the production designer and the set decorator. Deverell was the production designer, while Shane Vieau received the award alongside her for set decoration. That distinction explains why some winner lists give two names even though the question asks specifically for the production designer.

Frankenstein also won Oscars for Costume Design and Makeup and Hairstyling. The other Production Design nominees included Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle after Another, and Sinners. A common mix-up is to choose Hannah Beachler, who was the production designer for Sinners, or Jack Fisk, who worked on Marty Supreme.
