Strata Creative director Andrew Malmo has been working professionally as a lighting designer in Auckland since 1998.
As a lighting designer, Andrew's work is theatrically-based. He has designed numerous dramatic productions for Auckland venues and touring shows. His designs have complemented the work of some of New Zealand's most acclaimed designers, directors and actors. His aim as a designer is to explore new possibilities and create innovative, artistic lighting that is faithful to the production.
Trained at Auckland's Maidment Theatre, where he oversaw the technical requirements of literally hundreds of productions, Andrew has assisted some of the country's top lighting designers, and underwent a master class with Australian lighting designer John Rayment in 2002.
