David K. Warfel

David K. Warfel is a lighting designer, author, and educator focused on improving lives through the essential medium of light. He practices at the convergence of architectural lighting and live performance, illuminating a variety of projects and events—from homes, to the Las Vegas Strip, to New York’s Carnegie Hall. He can often be found in his self-built shop, cutting trim for updates to his 1930s colonial revival.
