This is just a casual and friendly introduction to me.

​

First things first, I'm Charlie, a young neurodivergent lighting designer.

I'm a lighting creative who is deeply passionate and detail-oriented when it comes to my creative work with experience designing for a wide array of production styles in both theatre and events. I try to steer clear of trends and focus (pun intended) on my unique identity as a designer and what I feel is right as a creative.

I would describe myself as a cheery and smiley individual who finds great pleasure in working on projects with people who truly allow me to invest creatively and permit an open creative environment.

I love both event and theatrical-type settings alike and have been in love with all things creative lighting since the age of 7 years old (I was a strange child).

Somewhat oddly, I am very comfortable designing something deep, theatrical and impactful for a performance of Electra or being let loose on an MA3 with my showfile and making sure a music event feels dynamic and thrilling.

I've been working in this industry non-stop in both technical and creative disciplines in a variety of roles, which has given me a broad understanding of the relationships between practitioners and what can be achieved even in the most unorthodox of venues and settings.

Nonetheless, in the words of The Greatest Showman, this is me. Feel free to call or leave an e-mail at any time with any questions you may have. 
Hope to hear from you!
