Newton Breiter, Lake Union Partners

So fantastic working with you, can’t say enough wonderful things about how nice it is to collaborate with you. All too often I think there’s a clash between the interior designer and the lighting designer, so this is a great experience. Hope you’re on more of my projects in the future.
