“I have known Martin Sunday for many years, and it has always been a pleasure working with him on lighting designs. His depth of knowledge when it comes to the available fixtures and lamping is outstanding, and he really knows how to take the lighting design to the next level.
He has been a great consultant and an asset to each project he works on with us. It is nice to know he is available from initial design sketches, through construction documents, all the way to programming the Lutron control panels and adjusting the art lighting.
We are very pleased with his services!”
