HI, I’M HARRISON

You can call me Harry for short. I support lighting designers and gaffers in their quest to transform spaces and tell stories with light & media. I place emphasis on fast and accurate programming that spans all genres. I'm not just aiming to deliver an amazing final product; I'm committed to making the entire creative process a breeze. Need a lighting programmer or lighting director? Look no further. Let's create something beautiful together.

Are you a brand or artist looking for design or full-service creative direction for your next project? Check out my design work at FUNCTION.
