Lighting designer to give Sept. 16 talk at WCU
9/2/2008 - Amy Laughead-Riese, senior lighting designer for Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s department stores, will make a presentation from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16, in Room 130 of the Fine and Performing Arts Center, on the campus of Western Carolina University.
Laughead-Riese’s presentation, hosted by Western’s School of Art and Design, is free and open to the public.
Laughead-Riese, at right, oversees the development of lighting standards in department stores including Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, and coordinates with design staff to craft lighting as a component of brand identity.
