My name is Chris Heffelfinger. I am a Lighting Designer in the NYC/Westchester Area.
I discovered using lights as a medium for art in my freshmen year of high school and I’ve been hooked ever since. Although my training is heavily in theater, I am interested to branch out into other aspects of entertainment to see how far my art can take me. Stay safe!
