<h1>Rik Berkelder</h1>
Lighting Designer/Technician | Software Engineer | Nerd
<h2>About</h2>
<p>
I am a freelance lighting designer, technician, and systems specialist with a focus on touring productions and live
performance. Since 2018, I have worked freelance, initially alongside a career in IT and software engineering and
full time since 2022, bringing together technical precision, creative design, and a strong respect for the craft and
crew.
</p>
<p>
I have designed lighting for touring shows that require both creative adaptability and practical problem solving on
the road. As a house and systems technician in a variety of venues, I regularly support international acts and
crews, adapting to varied
setups and workflows. My theatre and festival touring experience has also strengthened my ability to communicate
clearly with local teams and deliver consistent, high quality results in dynamic environments.
</p>
<p>
A perfectionist by nature, I value preparation, attention to detail, and reliability while staying flexible and
collaborative to meet the demands of live production. My background in IT and network management supports
increasingly complex lighting and control systems, ensuring stable and efficient operation across all types of
venues.

<h1>Rik Berkelder</h1>

{%if site.site == "rblicht" %}
<h2>About</h2>
<p>
I am a freelance stage lighting technician, lighting designer, and lighting systems technician with a passion for the
intersection of technical precision and creative expression. My journey in lighting began in primary school, driven by
a fascination with how light shapes space and mood. Since 2018, I’ve been freelancing alongside a career in software
engineering and IT, transitioning to full-time freelance work in 2022.
</p>
<p>
As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I’ve learned to harness this trait to my advantage—valuing preparation over
improvisation and precision over guesswork. My attention to detail ensures that every cue, fixture, and system
performs exactly as intended. I bring professionalism, technical expertise, and a deep commitment to elevating every
production I work on, blending methodical planning with a love for creative problem-solving.
