"I still can't quite believe it! It's such an honour and privilege to receive the prize, it means so much to begin my career with recognition such as this."

Isaac O'Brien, Designer

Isaac O’Brien is a multidisciplinary designer from Northern Ireland, based in London and Belfast. He trained at the Liverpool Institute for Performing arts with a BA in Theatre and Performance design.

Inquisitive and playful, he is passionate about the power of storytelling through performance to pique an audiences’ curiosity about themselves and the world around them and the possibility for this curiosity to open dialogue and lead to positive societal change, a goal he inherited from the theatre scene he grew up around. It is this same curiosity and sense of play that guides his highly conceptual approach to is work.

Isaac’s broad experience in all facets of performance design, including set, costume, lighting and sound, all collate to inform his adventurous and highly collaborative approach to his varied practice.
