A key element of The Lighting Practice’s success is our ability to find and recruit talented team members with a variety of experience and expertise. We are pleased to introduce the newest team members, Michele Mokuau, Mia Rosensaft, and Coleman Blanchard.

Michele is very active in her Drexel’s AIAS organization and is currently the co-chair for the Beaux Arts Ball.
