Hello! I am Claire Michels, a Milwaukee based Lighting Designer. I have a BFA in Lighting Design with a minor in German Studies from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. I am also a designer with Stage Right Design.

I have a diverse artistic background with experience with drawing, painting, sculpture, lighting, fashion/costume design, and more. With that, I have technical skills in drafting, electrics, construction, and sewing. I also keep a bullet journal and crochet for personal creative outlets. Additionally, I love animals, and spend my free time fostering cats.
