I specialize in CAD-based lighting simulation and design and have additional experience in general architectural drafting and modeling for 3D printing and laser cutting. With formal studies in social science and environmental management, I also hold certifications in lighting design, photometrics, and drafting. My journey began in stage lighting in 2010, evolving into architectural lighting in 2018. My passion for blending technical precision with artistic creativity has led me to act in design roles on several projects in the Baltimore area and provide professional simulation and consultation to countless others across the country.My blog, VelaPhotometrics.com, covers lighting simulation techniques, design strategies, and emerging industry trends- check it out to see how my skills can elevate your next project!
