About My Work
The Designer's Toolbox
Being well rounded has always been an important part of my work. While sharpening my skills as a Lighting Designer I also explored the tools that help craft my art. Working as a Master Electrician has allowed me to understand the other side of the tech table which helps me to execute designs in a clean and effecient way.
