About Me
My name is Sarah Brown, and I'm a 2nd-year MFA Graduate Student at the University of South Dakota in Design/Tech with an Emphasis in Lighting Design. I fell in love with lighting design in the spring of my sophomore year, and that love only grew as I designed shows for my undergraduate program. I decided to pursue a career in Lighting design because I want to share my passion with others and eventually teach other students about all the amazing things they can do with lighting for a show.
