I design lights for live theatre across the Twin Cities and southeast Minnesota. Black box shows and full musicals. Twenty four productions since 2016.

Lighting Design

Design work

Live event stage setup with truss, line arrays, chandelier and large windows

I have designed for Theatre in the Round Players, Teatro Del Pueblo, TheatreX, Inver Hills Community College, Inver Grove Community Theatre, the Chameleon Theatre Circle, and the Phipps Center for the Arts. Black box shows and full musicals.

I run ETC Element and Ion consoles and the Obsidian NX1-16. I draft in Vectorworks and store show files in Eos.
