Career

In reviews of Home Song Stories (2007), Variety called the production "ace", [1] and The Hollywood Reporter described it as "first-rate". [2] In an otherwise mixed review, The Sydney Morning Herald praised Doring's production design in Triangle (2009). [3] The Hollywood Reporter wrote that her production design in The Eye of the Storm "evokes a world of chauffeured Bentleys and kangaroo-fur stoles inhabited by a wannabe colonial aristocracy". [4]
