About Me 

Airi Ueda is one of the Japanese lighting designers in the country. Her heightened sense of sight adds a unique layering to her designs and amplifies her story-telling capabilities with a visually-inspired perspective.

 

Airi was involved in theater as a performer at a young age. She came to realize that her passion and drive were in lighting because she believed that lighting design is a maestro: directing the audience's attention, and the principle key to improving the visual quality and atmosphere of the performance. Her passion for the theater arts led her to come to the U.S. to earn to BFA in theater and dance emphasis on lighting design at Missouri State University.
