I’m seeking representation and looking for recommendations on who I should reach out to. I’m a set and costume designer (luherbert.co.uk) so if anyone thinks of an agency that might suit me please do let me know.

Whirlwind few months. Assistant set designing Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 at the Donmar, really exciting project conversations for 2025, and I just bought a house! This month is all about moving boxes, white cards and exciting chaos. 🤩
