Set Designer Job Description

A set designer is a writer or creative who creates the settings in which a story occurs.

A set design is generally described as the physical environment of a play or movie, and may include the stage itself, props, costumes, lighting, and overall scenery.

The set designer is typically a production designer or art director.

Set design involves creating the overall look and feel of a set.

A set designer needs to understand the director’s vision in order to translate that vision into a set that complements it.

A set designer works closely with the set construction staff to determine which materials will be used to create the set.
