Career
[edit]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]
