Renée Austin

Certified Lighting Consultant

Our Certified Lighting Consultant graduated from Salem State College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Having worked with Lucy for many years, she was excited to help get lucía up and running, and has been involved since its inception almost 10 years ago. Starting her lighting career on the commercial side, with parking lots and gymnasiums, she has happily made the transfer to the much more interesting personal spaces of homes and small retail environments. Her extensive training combined with exceptional artistic and technological skills allow her to deliver exceptional service to customers at lucía.

When not on the slopes, she enjoys running, practicing yoga, painting and relaxing with her husband Russ on their boat, Sandpiper.
