ABOUT JACOB
Creative ideas.
Technical execution.
I’m a lighting designer and programmer based in the St. Louis area, working across live entertainment and production technology.
My path into lighting started backstage in high school theatre. After learning show operation and programming on an ETC console, I moved into designing and programming productions myself. That foundation grew into work spanning theatre, dance, concerts, professional production environments and creative lighting installations.
I’m most interested in the point where design and technology meet: building a visual idea, planning the system behind it, programming the details and making it perform reliably in front of an audience.
