Brock Whalen

Freelance Lighting & Production Designer

An independent lighting and production designer based in Columbus, Indiana, with over 10 years of experience in touring and professional markets. Beginning in the House of Worship sector, I have honed my skills through hands-on experience, expanding my expertise to encompass all facets of live entertainment, including lighting, drafting, staging, audio, rigging, and more. My comprehensive knowledge of equipment and project timelines enables me to execute live events with precision and efficiency.

As a creative technologist, I am passionate about integrating emerging technologies to craft unique, immersive experiences. My work centers on the development of detailed 2D and 3D technical drawings, renderings, and site plans for large-scale concerts, festivals, and corporate events. Additionally, I have experience designing expo booths, stage layouts, and experiential activations.

Beyond design, I have served in various on-site technical roles such as Lighting Designer, Programmer, Production Manager, Dimmer Technician, and LED Technician. I value close collaboration with clients, transforming their visions into impactful, meaningful realities that engage their audiences.

Whether creating compelling brand identities, immersive environments, or managing production on the ground, I embrace creative challenges and continually strive to push the boundaries of the craft. Wherever you are in your process, I am eager to collaborate and explore the limitless possibilities of live production.
