She received her M.F.A. in Entertainment Design from UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television and her B.A. in Technical Theater from Long Beach State University. Along with her education, Kaitlin brings experience designing lighting for camera, hotels, private residences, and theme parks.

 

When not designing, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, hiking, baking a mean sourdough, and all things film or music.
