I see my role as a Plate Spinner who sets in motion new ideas and trends with lighting…
Creating innovation and design excitement,
articulating global lighting trends, establishing
OEM design relationships, working with them
to establish the technology. I help OEMs to first
embrace lighting innovation and to use it to
design products for interior and exterior
vehicle production.
Often, I’m asked to return to give the plate
another spin with new lighting ideas and
development. The circle of design continues.
I do it all with a smile, a lot of passion, and a sense of humor.
