Three New Designer Hires at Available LightAvailable Light announces the hiring of three new Designers: John Delfino, has set up shop in the New York studio, while Jessica Krometis and Paige Stockman, bring new skills and enthusiasm to the Salem MA studio. Delfino returns home to the Northeast after completing his MFA in Lighting Design from CalArts where he studied under famed lighting designer Anne Militello and worked under that tutelage of Lisa Pasamonte of Visual Terrain. His diverse lighting design background ranges from theatrical productions to themed entertainment, and from museums to architecture. Krometis recently completed her MFA in Stage Design at Northwestern University, where she worked on projects such as Aimée and Jaguar, The Wild Party, and Danceworks. She was also honored with a coveted USITT student exhibitor presenter slot at the 2015 Prague Quadrennial. Prior to her Northwestern residency, Krometis designed a number of productions in both Chicago and New York; she served as the assistant designer for exhibits at both the Museum of Science & Industry and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Stockman is a young designer coming to us straight from UMass Amherst. While in school, Paige discovered a love of both theatre and architecture. Her theatrical lighting experience includes such productions as The House of the Blue Leaves and Next to Normal. Her degree in Architecture & Design gives her the edge to apply those theatrical techniques to architecture and museum exhibition. "We are very excited to have three promising new talents join our team," says Steven Rosen, IALD, principal and creative of Available Light, "While they have much to learn from our more seasoned staff members, John, Jessica, and Paige each come equipped with unique and valuable skills -- so we look forward to learning from them as well!"
