About

I am a lighting designer for theater, opera, dance, and music. I am based in Berlin, and work internationally.

Informed by a rigorous background in art photography and a passion for music, I often think of lighting design as four-dimensional composition: sculptural, pictorial, and musical at the same time; an all-encompassing vehicle for a communal event.

In addition to keeping this website, I write a biannual newsletter announcing my upcoming projects and the addition of new work to this website.
