Catherine Leskowat - Making Progress: the Art of Advocating
b"
It's always inspiring to see someone speak with authority and passion \\u2013 two traits Catherine Leskowat, Senior Lighting Designer at Hartranft Lighting Design, has in spades! As anyone who's been to Enlighten Americas or Lightfair recently knows, Catherine is an advocate through and through. Whether it's advocating for designing more holistically for a wider cross-section of body types, abilities, and preferences (what her talk at Lightfair focused on), or for finding the right kind of support to grow and develop to the next level as a professional (the topic of her co-hosted session at Enlighten), Catherine applies her skill at thinking deeply about problems and analyzing solutions. She sat with us during this year's IALD Enlighten Americas and shared her thoughts on how we can continue to do better by prioritizing community.
