Lu Herbert is a Set and Costume designer based in Yorkshire, working in Leeds, London and across the UK. Lu is a graduate from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s BA Production Arts and Design Degree (specialising in Set and Costume design), and Guildhall School of Music and Drama’s MA Collaborative Theatre Production and Design.
Lu is excited by exploration, play and development for new works of theatre and loves experimenting with colour palettes, texture and bringing new stories to the stage. Therefore, a lot of the work on this site explores the relationship between text and visual, sensory practice in design, creative collaboration, and having a complex and exciting dynamic with the rest of the creative team on all projects. Sustainability and accessibility are some of Lu’s most valued elements of the theatrical process. Most recently, Lu was nominated for a BroadwayWorld award and shortlisted for the JMK Award 2024 with director Zoe Murtagh.
