Meet Your Instructor

With 17 years of experience in lighting design, I have worked behind the scenes on major concerts, corporate events, and theater productions, gaining hands-on experience and learning from professionals across the industry. I started exactly where you are—confused by all the different fixtures and unsure how to use them effectively. Through hands-on experience and mentorship, I discovered that lighting isn't complicated when it's broken down the right way. That's why I created this course. I wanted to give aspiring lighting technicians like you the shortcut I never had—clear, practical knowledge about professional lighting fixtures without the guesswork. I'm passionate about helping you build a career in event lighting, and I'm excited to share everything I've learned so you can skip the confusion and get straight to making an impact on set.
