Scenic Designer

2025, they/them BFA Drama, Scenic Design

Louise Cutter is a location-based designer, manager, and artisan from Los Angeles, California. With a passion for immersive environments, Louise is most fascinated by the opportunity to develop a world through the physical environment and visual narrative. Engaging with art in a way that cultivates escapism has been integral to their emotional survival as a human. As an artist, Louise believes in social responsibility and is dedicated to returning these feelings of wonder and joy they experienced through immersion by pursuing a career in this line of work.

In addition to receiving a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama with an area of concentration in Scenic Design, Louise received further education through classes provided by the Entertainment Technology Center. They pursued a four-month apprenticeship in the Scenery and Props department at Sleep No More NYC and The McKittrick Hotel. Most recently, Louise finished an eight-month internship with Universal Creative as the Show/Set/Scenic/Rockwork Intern for an undisclosed project! Check back soon for more information. During their education, Louise served as the Scenic Designer for Macbeth, 2024, and Transformations, 2024.
