Lorelei Cairns

Set designer Costume designer Production designer Graphic designer Prop maker

I am a set designer with a passion for dynamic, immersive theatre that incorporates video and projection. I graduated with a BA in English from University College London (UCL) in September 2022, so I am particularly interested in staging fresh and challenging adaptations of classic texts. I have been a member of the National Youth Theatre since 2021, when I completed their course in Scenic Design & Construction. My pronouns are she/her.
