Emmys 2023!
We had the most incredible night celebrating and cheering everyone on!
Proud to be nominated with my friends, peers, and so many others I look up to in this industry. Getting to celebrate with my family was truly a gift and I’m so grateful for the experience. Cheers to team #Encanto!
Special thanks to @disney for taking such good care of us. Also to @beatsbymel_ for getting us ready, @charlie4ell , and @torstenwitte for the new haircut!

Encanto Live-To-Film concert experience at the @hollywoodbowl !
Had the incredible honor to help light this event over the last couple weeks with some good friends also making new ones in the process. It was a massive effort for everyone involved and I’m so grateful to @larryslamps and @algurdon for bringing me on. Looking forward to watching December 28th when it broadcasts.
Also getting to share a small bit of it with my family was incredible!
Celebrating National Daughters Day! Here’s some photos of my baby girl. Rose you bring so much life and happiness into our worlds and your mom and I love you so very much!
So incredibly honored to win the Live Design Achievement Award (@live.design ) for Arena Lighting with my longtime friend and collaborator Tony Caporale.

On May 15th we welcomed our daughter into the world. Rose Valentine Koop weighed in at 6 pounds 9 ounces. She’s a constant joy and I never knew how much more love I had to give until I met her. We can’t wait to see what the future brings.
