NEW TEAM MEMBERS
Jonathan Cook
Audio Video Consultant
Jonathan joined the Melbourne office with audio, video, and lighting production experience for some of Australia’s most premium venues. From festival management in desert environments to systems integration in urban architectural environments, Jonathan’s audio and video skillset runs the gamut. He blends his background as a musician on stage with his education in math, physics, and music technology to design audio and video systems that enhance the live experience for performers and audiences alike.
Jonathan’s current projects include Whitehorse Performing Arts Center, Nunawading, VIC; New Performing Arts Venue (QPAC), Brisbane, QLD; Perth Concert Hall, Perth, WA; and Edmund Rice College, West Wollongong, NSW.
Outside work, it’s quite likely that Jonathan is working on his home renovation, repairing electronic equipment, tinkering on his car, or nerding out with his own AV systems.
Henry Golden-Starr
Marketing Coordinator
Henry joined the Chicago office after a decade of storytelling through a variety of mediums. He is a skillful copywriter who adopted the various brand voices of clients in his four years of writing with a Chicago ad agency. He is a graphic designer with experience working for multiple theatre companies. He is also a social media strategist, illustrator, actor, and producer. His marketing skills are supported by his experience in theatrical production, video production, and audio production.
Apart from marketing and communication work, Henry also likes to build miniatures and spend time with his wife, Shannon, and their dog, Ravioli.
Katelyn Le-Thompson
Lighting Specialist
Joining the Chicago-based lighting team, Katelyn brings passion for equitable lighting practices to her work. Coming up through technical theatre, she was drawn to live events and themed entertainment projects which brought her to the architectural lighting scene. She is happiest when the lighting design helps everyone to participate equally, confidently, and independently in everyday activities.
Katelyn’s current projects include Embarcadero Center 3, San Francisco, CA; One Tower Bridge, Conshohocken, PA; and the Tempo Inn and Embassy Suites in Austin, TX.
Katelyn loves hosting elaborately themed dinner parties and exploring the world with her best friend, her sweet pit bull pup, Finnie.
