Lighting design begins with a vision, is programmed with direction and executed with precision.

I work closely with directors, set designers, and creative teams to understand the visual direction of the production before a single fixture is plotted or hung. Programming dymanic and powerful looks to create moments in your show that will pop. Execution, the most important part or live event production, making sure your general session, concert or theater production happens smoothly

The lighting design and LX services Above Par Lighting and Stagecraft offers include:

  • As your Lead LD, I'm not handing off a show file and walking away. I'm on the deck during focus, at the console during tech check, and taking cues during show. Your production gets my full attention from first creative conversation to final strike.

  • Start to finish creative and technical lighting design for theatrical productions, corporate events, live concerts, and touring shows. Includes concept development, paperwork, and on-site direction through close of production.

  • Custom lighting rig design tailored to the venue, budget, and creative vision. Fixture selection, plot development, and coordination with rental vendors and production managers to come up with unique designs for your show.

  • Adept programming and operation of lighting software including GrandMA 3, GrandMA 2, HOG 4, and ONYX . Clean, organized, show-ready cue stacks built for reliability for your install, whether the show runs once or night after night.

  • Pre-visualization services to develop and refine lighting looks before load-in, saving valuable tech time and giving creative directors confidence in the design before day one. Pre-production begins with shop prep and a plan.

  • Branded, polished lighting environments for corporate events, award show, product launches, galas, and conferences. Even and clear lighting for the perfect camera image on screen and dynamic moments to keep the general session alive. Lighting that makes a room feel intentional, not just lit.
