A long time lighting designer with an industrial design background and extensive fabrication experience. I tend to overdo everything and have more simultaneous projects than I care to mention. Sleep is my enemy and strong, black coffee is my friend.

I’m passionate about activating the night with light—whether it’s through my day job at Light Projects designing urban streetscapes, or with my collaborative, Clerestory Light, creating light and sound art at historic sites. I love working outdoors on projects that are inspired by the communities and landscapes around them.

From studying theatrical design and running rock shows to Architectural installation, programming and sales - regardless of the role played, the lifetime imprints we can leave on people using light has always been my motivation.
