A professional, positive leader with excellent project management skills, Travis moves into the Senior Lighting Designer role. His teams appreciate his innovative approaches to lighting challenges, his videoconference and broadcast expertise, and his easygoing manner under deadline pressures.

His projects include Optiver US Headquarters, Chicago, IL; Convene, San Francisco, CA; Education Media Foundation Headquarters, Nashville, TN; and Howard Brown Health, Chicago, IL.

When he is not designing lighting, Travis can be found at Lillstreet’s ceramics studio on a potter’s wheel, creating objects for everyday use or relaxing at home with his perfect little dog named Chroma.

Samantha moves to Project Lighting Designer to take on more complex lighting design projects, a perfect fit for the smart, fast, and detail-oriented approach she brings to her work.

Sam’s projects include Lorenzo Theater, San Lorenzo, CA; JP Morgan Client Centers, Pasadena, CA, and Seattle, WA; McDonald’s Global Flagship, Orlando, FL; and Katten Offices, Chicago, IL.

Outside of lighting design, Sam likes to spend time with her family and puppy Flynn, play soccer, draw, and read.
