„The magic behind the obvious"
SOUND BITES

– "It becomes this sort of magic behind the obvious."

– "There is agency around light and it should be there to support their lives."
– "I'm actually loving my job."
– "Seeing how daylight brought life to the built environment and allowed buildings to visually breathe."

TAKEAWAYS

– Balancing three roles: firm work, own practice, and teaching at Parsons
– How theatrical lighting taught her that light is "the magic behind the obvious"
– What fascinates people most: that lighting design exists as a profession at all
– Advice for newcomers: connect with a lighting designer, formal training isn't the only way in
– Proud moment: lighting "The Saints" (2007) von Paul Pfeiffer – Installation at MCA Chicago
– Imposter syndrome in a young profession – and how it shifts
