Where is the Industry Heading: An Interview with Cat West

In our continuing column, Where is the Industry Heading we sat down with Cat West. Cat toughs herself more of a console programmer rather then a designer but from time to time finds her herself designing lights in the fly.  Cat has worked in the entertainment industry for over 10 years working as a wholehog specialist for High End Systems for 4 years.

Currently, Cat is the Lighting Director and programmer for IO Echo, an LA based band while also working with ACT Lighting on the west coast by providing GrandMA training classes. Cat also runs a website with Joe Cabrera called ConsoleTrainer.com which provides tips, tricks and training materials to console programmers at no charge.  Why you may ask, it is Cat and Joes way of giving back to the industry they love.
