Light Design
This page is a showcase of projects completed during my Lighting Design class at UWF. This class was "an introduction to the work of the lighting designer through theoretical design projects and light lab projects". It consists of multiple lighting journals which are sketches of different lighting observations. Plus a couple of videos of projects completed in a light lab working to show different light designs and cues.
