ABOUT
Hi, I'm Weston and I started WTC Design to house my freelance lighting design work in Richmond. Starting in 2020, a series of jobs pulled me into the install and systems side of the industry — an electrical apprenticeship, AV installation work, and a stretch as a project manager for Barbizon Lighting Company. I learned how these systems get designed, built, wired, and maintained. Today WTC Design covers both sides: lighting design and system services. You'll find me behind a console designing a show just as often as I'm on a job site or behind a computer working through a systems project.
