CONTACT
Abby is a theatre designer and maker working in venues across the UK, designing sets, costumes and puppets for performances and events.
​
Abby studied English Literature at the University of Oxford before completing a Masters in Design for Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She enjoys collaborating with other theatre makers to make pieces of work that challenge and engage audiences.
​
In her role as designer Abby is interested in how design can affect both the audience’s and actor’s role in the narrative. From something as simple as changing the position of a chair to creating an entire immersive space, her designs aim to help shape and communicate the relationship between audience, actor and narrative.
​
Abby was an Offie Award Finalist for both her Set Design and Costume Design for Unfortunate, was nominated for The Stage Debut Awards for Design in 2019 and was a finalist in the Linbury Prize for Stage Design 2017.
