Lighting Designer @Smithsonian Institution

Lighting designer at The Smithsonian American Art Museum and The Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C. Chair of the Illuminating Engineering Society committee for Museums and Art Galleries.My main interest is figuring out how to light art museums so visitors can better experience artwork while minimizing light’s damaging effects. With the advent of better lighting sources, like LED, I\'ve become very interested in vision science, especially how we see color. I\'ve worked on lighting projects at a wide range of museums including: The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (D.C.), The National Postal Museum (D.C.), The Walters Art Museum (MD), The Baltimore Museum of Art (MD), The Freer and Sackler Gallery of Art (D.C.), The Twain House and Museum (CN.), The Norman Rockwell Museum (Stockbridge, MA.), The State Department (D.C.), The Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.) The Phillips Collection (D.C), and the Arkel Museum (NY).
