In the last decade I have found a wonderful “home” at Richter Scale, giving me the opportunity to use my many and varied skills and experience on a daily basis in a multitude of applications.

I feel so fortunate to be able to “live the dream” with the love of my life. Our expansion to Phoenix has been exciting and energizing…I am so motivated to get up every day (again!) and meet new people and create new business opportunities to capture this new market, all while keeping the Denver office operating smoothly. And we can focus on growth now because for the first time ever we have an amazing team!

“Eleven IS louder than ten.” – Spinal Tap

About Me: Hello! I’m an up-and-coming lighting designer born in Ohio but raised here in Denver. I’ve always had a love for live production – my first concert was the Beach Boys (I was one year old). I pursued the creative arts with a decade of competitive figure skating, then went in to theatre during high school. While studying at the University of Denver, I traveled the country and world, living and working in the West End in London, Los Angeles Opera, and even The Juilliard School. Suffice it to say, I love Denver too much to leave permanently. I strive to produce new and exciting visuals with every production, and you will never leave my light shows without a grin of delight.
