About me
For the past 10 years, I have been a Lighting Designer, Director, and Programmer for concerts, tours, special events and everything else connected to music. I have programmed the lighting for many A-Level artists and toured internationally with them as well. I am an expert at programming and operating intelligent lighting (moving head fixtures, LEDs, anything more complex than a dimmer); I have done shows with several thousand fixtures... And plenty with only 4! No job is too large or too small for me; I truly love the work.Aside from programming lighting, I can also pixel map LED walls and run live video.
While I love music and it is my specialty, it's not my only area of experience. I have also designed and programmed the lighting for many events, presentations, and theatre.
I am on Mandy because I have recently had the opportunity to program and operate the lighting for several gaffers and DPs on some commercials and music video shoots. I've found that I really enjoy the work and would love to delve further into the film and TV industry if given the opportunity. I am an IATSE ACT member.
