ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINES
Various Projects
This page represents several projects in one space.
I work consistently with Rui Rita and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as Associate Lighting Designer (and occasional Hog programmer) onboard Royal Caribbean’s newest cruise ships. Contracted to work on a variety of shows, we’ve collectively designed 12 productions over the past 6 years. This page reflects the greatest hits of those productions.
While working with Rui as associate lighting designer, we often trade off who is on the ship at any given time. I develop the cue list for the production and offer a substantial contribution to the realized design of the production while at the tech table. We constantly bounce ideas off each other and even go as far as alternating who is designing each song. I value and cherish this relationship.
The following galleries reflect shows I’ve worked on with Rui as associate lighting designer. Most recently, Rui and I elevated our relationship. Beginning with Icon of the Seas, Rui and I decided to bill as Co-Designers. I’ve represented those two projects—The Wizard of Oz and Effectors: The Origin Story—on their own pages to reflect that unique billing.
Links to full video recordings of the productions have been provided when available. I’m also including the light plot, magic sheet, and cue list where appropriate.
THE EFFECTORS 2.0
Wonder of the Seas
An evolution of Royal Caribbean’s original super hero universe, Effectors 2.0, introduces us to two new super villains—Crash and Burn. Our super heroes—Pixel, Lume, Captain Viz, and Reverb—must battle with Crash and Burn to once again save the day.

Flight explores human space and air travel throughout the years. From space travel—the moon landing and the International Space Station—to the Wright brothers, this production explores and celebrates human kinds’ desire to take flight.
