Kinema pendant luminaire
Kinema is a pendant luminaire designed to allow a user to control the intensity of light based on their mood or the environment.
Each of Kinema’s rings can be individually “flipped” creating dramatic light and shadow effects.
Kinema is available in satin-finished aluminum, brushed gold and black, brushed aluminum and black, or painted finish to perfectly suit the environment’s mood.
Kinema can be purchased from Ponoko or Etsy .
Please contact me for available color options. Dealer inquiries invited.
Underwater Illumination Simulation
The goal of this project was to simulate the experience of being underwater.
The installation was accomplished using a projector, mirror, tub of water and canopy of white foam core panel.
Underneath visitors were invited to lie down on a 3/4 inflated air mattress and view the projected images.

I was brought on to this commercial project to fabricate exterior lighting fixture for a new restaurant, Sushi on Sunset, which opened in August 2008.

Transforming Light Studio – Serious Play 2008
I co-taught the Transforming Light Studio at Serious Play 2008, hosted by Art Center instructors Dan Gottlieb and Penny Herscovitch.
I shared my knowledge of non-linear folding techniques with the students whom collectively created dynamic forms and reinterpreted lighting fixtures.
About the studio:
Open your eyes to the power and poetics of light. Using paper, tyvek and other simple supplies, participants will invent a range of lighting solutions. Some elements will be inspired by the work of Conference speaker Robert Lang.
