Erin Meyer

BFA Design and Technolgy

I have worked with theme parks such as Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio and Paramount's Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio. I then went to work for Royal Caribbean Internation on board the Mariner of the Seas and the Radiance of the Seas as a light technician. I am also the lighting designer for Exhale Dance Tribe in Cincinnati, Ohio. I also had a short stint with Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus as a lighting technician. That is my most favorite job to date, sad that I am no longer with them, but being allergic to elephants sort of makes that not possible. Keep it bright and colorful.</
