If there is one thing that Elmi is capable of, it’s everything.

Elmi Badenhorst often collaborates with world-renowned directors like Ellen Kuras, Mark Molloy, Miles Jay and Brett Morgen, to name a few. She started her career as a costume designer in London during the early 2000s working on music videos and commercials. Then, she moved back to work in the thriving film industry in Cape Town as she transitioned to Production Design.
