What if sharing your expertise could shape the future of an entire industry? In our latest episode of Light Talk, I recount my journey through mentorship in the lighting design field and the profound impact it has had on both my career and the lives of those I've guided. From my blog post "Pay It Forward," this episode reveals how mentorship isn’t just about imparting knowledge but also building lasting relationships and contributing to the growth of the next generation. Listen in as I reflect on the importance of sharing our experiences to foster a thriving professional community.
In this special episode, I dive into my role as a mentor in the Silhouette Awards, a prestigious industry mentorship program led by Katia Kolovea (Archifos) and Eve Gaut (Parrot Marketing). Hear about my enriching experience mentoring Cristina Martinez, a passionate young talent in lighting design, and how our journey together has inspired me to continue giving back. This episode is filled with insights on the rewarding nature of mentorship and its broader impact on the built environment.
