Christopher Wong is a lighting designer for theatre and live events who creates unique experiences that reveal the world of the story through the manipulation of light.
His affinity with light stems from a childhood fascination of visiting lighthouses and a diorama exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science. Be sure to ask him about either!
MFA : NYU/Tisch
BA : University of Maryland
