ABOUT ME
Em Stripling (they/them) is a neurodivergent lighting practitioner from the South and Brooklyn, NY. Although their degree is in Lighting Design, doing electrician work post-grad has allowed them to connect with an area of live events where they feel the most excited : Production Electrics. Being a part of figuring out how to execute a design idea is endlessly fascinating - there is always more to learn.
In that vain, Em created an Instagram account with Amara McNeil to provide a educational platform about lighting design and electrics from female and non-binary people. There are a lot of nuances in our day-to-day as workers in the arts that deserve to have a space for people to ask questions about, especially since only so much can be covered in an educational setting.
They love all things horror, are learning to avoid burnout, and love making shows with people they truly enjoy.
