Are you a Lighting Designer wondering:
Did I become a lighting designer for this repetitive work?
How do I protect time for creative and strategic thinking?
How do I modernise workflows without losing control of quality?
βThat Was Me 2 years backβ¦β
I used to lose hours every week to context switching and repetitive work.
Then I discovered no-code AI, and everything changed. The busywork got lighter, and my focus shifted to higher-value work.
I built this AI Productivity Accelerator for Lighting Designers to help you do the same in 4 weeks: move faster on renders, schedules, specs, tender reviews, and documentation, while keeping design intent fully in your control.

Guest Speaker: Daniel Green (INTO Lighting) & DUSK AI
Weβve invited Daniel Green (INTO Lighting) to deliver two live guest sessions (1 hour each, week 1 & 2) focused on practical, design-led AI for lighting visuals and standards.
Weβre also collaborating with Danielβs DUSK AI, a lighting render tool in beta built specifically for lighting designers. DUSK offers better control using a lasso tool, so you can place lighting layers exactly where you need them. In Week 1 & 2, this cohort will receive a priority access to create in DUSK AI.
Cohort Facilitator: Johanna Stuckler (Jo)
Jo is a podcast host, workshop facilitator and lighting designer. She will co-facilitate the live calls and elevate the cohort experience. Expect interactive sessions that feel enjoyable, less overwhelm, more clarity, and smoother implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I donβt find value, money back guarantee?
If you're not blown away by end of week 1, just email me - I'll refund you. No questions asked.

Every session is recorded, timestamped and uploaded the same day. You can replay on-demand and post questions in community for instructor feedback. You will have access given to all resources in community.
Which software or subscriptions are required?
You will just need the paid Chat GPT Plus subscription ($20 / month) for building custom GPT's. You will see ROI on first day itself.
We will use free or trial version of all other AI tools including Zapier. Some optional tools may require a paid plan depending on usage (e.g., Krea at $9/month for creating renders & mood boards). Check current pricing before subscribing.
Do I need tech / coding skills
Nope. Everything is no-code. If you can use Google Docs, you're good. However you will need paid Chat GPT Plus subscription ($20/month) for building custom GPT's.
How much time should I set aside each week?
Plan on 2 hours live + 2 hours implementation. You will start reclaiming that time once you start integrating week 1 AI hacks in your workflow.
I am already using ChatGPT, will this still help me?
Definitely. Week 1 moves you beyond single prompts to a personal AI stack; Weeks 2-4 layer custom GPTs, automated agents, and niche workflows that compound your time savings and business / creative impact.
Will community stay open after this program?
Yes, RISE 4-Week AI Accelerator community will be supported & will remain active for at least 30 days post-cohort, and youβll keep lifetime access to all recordings and resources.
