Leadership Group:

Our advisory board is a dedicated group of industry leaders from across the lighting and design professions. We are grateful for their leadership, advice, and dedication to the work of the school.

“The Studio School of Design is an exciting chance for early career lighting professionals to hone their eye and their craft from some of the industry’s best. “
-Amith Chandrashaker, Drama Desk and Henry Hewes Design Award Winner

“I’m so delighted for our field that the school is opening. Opportunities for excellent affordable education as an alternative to graduate education, and as continuing education for working designers, are long overdue for our community”
-Jane Cox, TONY nominated lighting designer

“The Studio School of Design is an opportunity for designers to advance their training, skill sets, and experience in a way that has not been previously possible. It’s an alternative that is a game changer for continued education in our field.”
-Al Crawford, Knight of Illumination

“As the world continues to change so does the world of Design and Design Education. The Studio School of Design is on the cutting edge of teaching design with a new contemporary approach. The faculty are all professionals who are currently working in the field of design with hundreds of years of combined experience. I’m excited to see a new dawn on the horizon of Design Education.”
-Natasha Katz, TONY award winner

“I attribute a lot of my success as a designer to the strong work ethic instilled in me by the professional mentors I encountered after graduating college. I think the Studio School of Design can provide that experience and exposure.”
-Tyler Micoleau, TONY award winner

“The Studio School of Design will provide the industry with a broad bridge of course offerings to accelerate emerging professional’s career paths and networks.”
-Irene Byrne Ohl, Principal at Pivot2, a professional vetting company for theatrical technicians

“Education is important for lighting designers. To sustain a long life in the art of lighting one needs a method by which to approach one’s work. The best way to begin to develop this method is to learn the way of another or others and from that find one’s own. The Studio School of Design will offer just such an opportunity.”
-Jennifer Tipton, MacArthur Fellowships Award Winner, Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize
