Betsy is an NYC-based freelance lighting designer, endlessly fascinated by the ways in which color and shadow can shape a story. She found her passion for lighting after registering for the wrong class and has been enchanted by its magic ever since. Betsy is passionate about creating work that sparks meaningful conversation. She finds inspiration in the way her collaborators experience the story. Having finished three years of grad school without a single cup of coffee, she finds that the energy of a rehearsal room gives her more than caffeine ever could.

Most recently, she has designed work for productions with NYU Grad Acting, Tisch Dance, Columbia University, as well as Ayodele Casel + Arturo O'Farrill at the Joyce Theater.

Betsy received her MFA in Lighting Design at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2021.
