About

Alayna Klein (she/her/hers) is a New York City-based set designer whose work transforms the emotional into the physical.

Motivated by the complexities of the human condition, Alayna is committed to challenging and evolving her own worldview and that of others.

Alayna earned dual BAs in Theatre Art and Visual Art from SUNY New Paltz in 2018. She looks forward to graduating with her MFA in Stage Design from Northwestern University in June 2025.
