„Good lighting is not seen"
SOUND BITES

– "Good lighting is not seen and bad lighting is what's noticed."

– "Once I got an internship in lighting, it was game over from there."
– "If someone is epileptic, they could have a seizure – just being super cognizant of that has been very eye-opening."
– "Meet as many people from as many walks of life as possible – that's where you learn."
