A key grip is a senior role on a film set that is responsible for overseeing equipment, coordinating its transportation, positioning of cameras and everything in between.
Before working on Baby Reindeer he worked on other hugely popular shows such as Top Boy, Death in Paradise, Episodes and Holby City.
This is in addition to working on major films like The Marvels and Boxing Day.
There is a JustGiving page set up in tribute to Harrison, to raise funds for his family, which has exceeded its initial fundraising goal. The current total stands at £12,495. The original target was £500.
The page reads: 'Llewellyn was a much-loved colleague, friend and mentor to many. His sudden death has shocked us all, and his absence will be truly missed.
'We would like to take this opportunity to raise funds for the family he leaves behind.'
Among the contributors was English actress Joely Richardson, as well as colleagues and friends from Holby City and Clerkenwell Films, the production company who worked on Baby Reindeer.
One person wrote on the page: 'The sweetest grip in the world. The film industry will be a worse place without him.'
The camera equipment company Chapman Leonard UK also donated and wrote: 'We are so saddened to hear the news. Llewellyn was a pleasure to know and we are so glad to have worked with him. Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be very missed.'

It comes after Jessica Gunning has doubled down on Baby Reindeer creator Richard's plea for fans to stop trying to find out who the real 'Martha Scott' is.
The actress, 38, blew fans away with her role as stalker Martha in the Netflix series, which is based on writer and leading star Richard's own experience of being stalked.
After the harrowing show soared to global success, Richard, 34, was forced to beg social media sleuths to stop trying to find out the real identities of the characters.
And Jessica has doubled down on his plea and said it is a 'real shame' fans are getting fixated on who the real 'Martha' is, after Richard went to great lengths to protect their identity.
She told Glamour: 'I would urge people not to be doing that [...] I think it's a real, real shame, because it shows that they haven't watched the show properly, that's not the point of it in any way.
'Netflix and Richard [Gadd] went to extreme lengths to try and make sure that the identities were kept private for a reason.

Richard has made it clear that he has changed names and specific details of the story to protect the identities of those involved.
He recently asked people to stop trying to figure out the real identities of his characters because it has led to false accusation against his friends.
In an Instagram statement, he told how 'people I love, have worked with, and admire' were being targeted unfairly.
'Please don't speculate on who any of the real life people could be. That's not the point of the show,' he added.
Baby Reindeer delves into Richard's harrowing real-life stalking ordeal and brutal sexual abuse as he plays a fictionalised version of himself called Donny Dunn.
Donny is flooded with 41,071 emails, 744 tweets, 350 voicemails and 106 pages of letters from stalker Martha.

The series also details Donny's horrifying rape at the hands of his comedy mentor Darrien, played by Tom Goodman-Hill.
Darrien coaxes Donny to come to his flat and get high on drugs, by promising him that TV producers are interested in his work. However while on drugs, he sexually assaults Donny multiple times.
Richard has opened up about what it was like to re-enact his trauma for the small screen - and how he hopes it will aid his healing process.
On reliving his 'severe' twenties, he told Attitude: 'It's hugely challenging, but I hope for catharsis when the show comes out.'
