In addition to designing both locally and around the U.S., Anne is the Seasonal Lighting Designer for Knott’s Berry Farm theme park in Buena Park, CA. Anne is a proud member of United Scenic Artists, Local 829, as well as the author of The Assistant Lighting Designer's Toolkit (now in its second edition!) and 3D Printing Basics for Entertainment Design.
