About Me
I’m Dustin, a stage lighting designer who first fell in love with the craft at conferences—surrounded by fellow designers swapping ideas, sketches, and war stories over a late-night meal. That spirit of connection still drives me. This portfolio showcases my designs, creative process, and the immersive atmospheres I help craft for live performances, theater productions, events, and church services.
Collaboration is everything. Many of my projects are team efforts where I’ve contributed alongside directors, designers, and production crews—adding key lighting moments to bigger visions. From black-box theater to regional tours and worship spaces in churches, I’m grateful for every chance to support the story and the team behind it.
I love connecting with other lighting designers—whether at conferences, online, or on a job site. Explore my work, and if you’re a designer, producer, or pastor with a vision, I’d love to hear from you.
