What is it that drives you in your position / why do you like doing what you do? Lighting Design for me, is a great balance of creative design mixed with technical application.  I love problem solving. Whether it be the right way to light a space or how to deliver a design that is in budget.  It all comes into play when working with the team to come up with the winning solution. And then seeing it built.

What do you like doing outside of work? Outside of the office, I love to travel. My longest stint and favorite trip so far was to Egypt in 2023.  The culture and the people stood out as part of my favorite experience. And of course, the history and architecture is unbeatable. Next stop … a good stay in Italy.

What is your favorite food / drink / place to travel? Something else you’d rather talk about? My favorite place to visit it where I live. San Diego.  I love taking walks along the water with my dog, Daisy, at Spanish Landing or Sunset Cliffs. Balboa Park is also at the top of list. So many things to do there, including just laying under a tree watching the clouds go by (if we have any).
