Arae Webner is a Los Angeles-based production designer.
An avid hiker and gardener, she's grown the patience to understand that even the biggest ambitions are still built step by step.
Her years of repeat clients speak to not only her ability to execute- but to elevate. She loves building worlds from the ground up, deep-diving into every detail.
She produces her own renders and various forms of previs, often working in live sessions with directors and DPs to light, lay out spaces and plan complex shots. She loves being an active collaborator throughout the entire process- finding ways to mix light and design, exploring the boundaries of what's possible. Her goal is to support and uplift the vision of each project.
Her set-design work has spilled across industries- crafting experiences for live events with brands like Honda & Steezy, designing world tours for multi-platinum artists, and sustainably redesigning interiors for local LA businesses.
Arae has worked across Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Cleveland, Portland, Reykjavik, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Bogotá. Her approach remains the same but shape-shifts to meet the needs of each project, adaptable from the deserts of Colombia to the glaciers of Iceland.
When she’s not designing, she’s probably outside—hiking with her dog, gardening, throwing dinner parties, or planning her next trip. Her life fuels her passion for design. She's excited and grateful to do what she loves, with people she admires.
She believes great design should feel lived-in, a little magical, and deeply intentional—just like the best kind of story.
