From Lighting Dimensions...

What is the best career advice you've ever been given?

I've been given a lot of great advice over the years from some wonderful teachers and colleagues. I was very fortunate to work as an assistant to many great designers, primary among them Tom Skelton and Craig Miller. Both very often advised me (particularly in my more arrogant moments) to not be so anxious to demonstrate to everyone in the room what I already knew how to do, but rather to be sobered by everything I didn't yet know how to do. It's a simple idea, but they're words to live by.
