Canadian production designer who designed the opening episodes of Star Trek: Discovery's first season and then the whole first season of Star Trek: Picard, including the freighter La Sirena.
Todd Cherniawsky is a Canadian production designer who came to television after years in the art departments of large feature films.
His first Star Trek work was on Star Trek: Discovery, where he is credited as production designer on the first five episodes of the first season before Tamara Deverell took over. He then designed the entire first season of Star Trek: Picard, from Remembrance to Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2.
For Picard he studied Herman Zimmerman's designs for The Next Generation so that the new series would feel like a natural step forward from them. His sets included the Picard family chateau, the reclaimed Borg cube known as the Artifact and Cristóbal Rios's ship La Sirena, which he likened to a warehouse in space. Dave Blass succeeded him from the second season.
