Crafting Character: The Costumes of Paul Tazewell, at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry Early this year, I had the great fortune to provide lighting design for an exhibit at Griffin MSI, unlike anything I had done before. Designing for this exhibit was a truly wonderful experience. What incredible collaborators, what beautiful art, and what a life-changing story. Many thanks to the team at @griffinmsi , @paultazewell , and @iveydesign for making this exhibit a reality! All exhibit materials credit to Griffin MSI and Paul Tazewell where appropriate #lightingdesign #lighting #stagelighting #museum #wicked

A few shots from my time at Kings Dominion working on Halloween Haunt! Thanks to @greatlakesav and @marshallkonwinski for being amazing technicians, to Hannah and the Live Ent team for being the task jugglers they are, and to @windishentertainment for putting together a top-tier show! I had such a great time on this one. A fun rig, great people, and a lovely park. I hope to come back soon!

Beyond the Surface: The Art of X-Rays at Griffin Museum of Science of Industry! I had the pleasure of being the lighting designer for this incredible exhibit earlier this year. Incredible X-ray imagery from Andrei Duman, gorgeous projection design from Supply and Demand, and unique artifacts from start to end. I can’t wait to do it again!

Hairspray at @littletheatreonthesquare ! This was my fifth and final show of the summer in Sullivan, and it was a big one! It’s colorful, sparkly, and filled to the brim with haze, and I couldn’t have had a better time designing it. This was my second “full” summer designing at LTOTS, and I want to thank the dozens of people whom I worked with for their kindness, artistry, and generosity. Sullivan really is home to a theatre company unlike any other, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

One year ago, I married my favorite person in the world. On May 24th, 2024 @g0rdonzola and I went down to the Cook County Courthouse basement and made it official. The past seven-plus years of my life have been the best I've ever had, and I can't wait for whatever comes next! I am so grateful to have you in my life, I love you so much! 📸: Jasper Winter
