Liam Bunster

Designer

I am a London based set and costume designer working in theatre, film and exhibitions.

Originally training as an Architect at the University of Nottingham I went on to complete a postgraduate degree in Set and Costume Design at RADA going on to be a recipient of the Leverhulme Arts Scholarship, becoming resident Assistant Designer at the Royal Shakespeare Company. As well as producing my own work I am the full time Associate Designer to Set and Costume Designer Anna Fleischle.

I was recently nominated for the Stage Debut Awards 2020.
