A knowledgeable LD can take a lot of the headache out of producing a show. After spending months in the pre-production phase, proper execution by an experienced professional means that your planning won’t go to waste.

Every show is different, but expect these fundamentals when hiring me for your show:

LIGHTING PROGRAMMING

The role of a Lighting Programmer is crucial in ensuring that the artistic vision of the Lighting Designer (LD) is successfully translated into a visually stunning reality. As a Lighting Programmer, my primary responsibility will revolve around designing, implementing, and maintaining lighting systems to make your show stand.

To ensure your show is a success, you cant expect me to:

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

The Production Manager oversees all aspects related to the live performance, starting from when the trucks arrive at the venue until they depart. Every activity on or near the stage, including equipment, crew, and the Artist, falls under the responsibility of the PM.

To guarantee the success of all events, I will provide support at every stage of:

  • Planning and coordinating audiovisual projects while setting clear timelines

  • Leading and managing technical teams, including sound engineers, lighting technicians, video producers, and local labor

  • Engaging with clients to understand their needs, providing effective communication and ensuring their vision is realized
