• Adjust designs to meet the budget (because, of course)
• Draw detailed plans and coordinate with MEP teams
• Inspect the site (a lot!)
• Collaborate with manufacturers and contractors
• Refine, redesign, and refocus (again and again)
• Program and reprogram the lighting system
• Test and retest (because perfection is key)
• Inspect the micro-location of every fitting
• Focus and refocus the lighting
• Photograph the finished masterpiece
