Brad shares:
“We see leading designers fusing lighting, graphics and digital signage to create immersive new experiences across a range of commercial, retail and hospitality applications. But the most daring innovations need a strong base of project management, customer service and production savvy for successful execution on construction projects. The Cima team has worked hard to build excellent project-based services and responsive client support. I’m excited to join the Cima team and also to rejoin my former Color Kinetics colleague Brandon Siemion, with such a solid foundation from which to launch innovative product lines into the specification channel.”
