prop designer
Object maker, theater
A prop designer creates the objects actors handle or interact with during theatrical, film, or television productions—everything from weapons and furniture to food and personal items.
The role requires research, artistic skill, and practical problem-solving: props must look authentic, function reliably, and survive repeated use.
The prop designer sourced period-appropriate telephones for the 1940s drama.
