About me
Having developed a love for Theatre in high school, Patti’s journey to the Entertainment industry took her to Temple University to pursue an interest in Costume Design which segued into Lighting Design. After getting her degree, she was able to develop her design craft in plays, musical theater and opera. She worked for the lighting companies in the Philadelphia area; Aladdin Stage Lighting and McManus Enterprises and was the first woman to work for IATSE Local #8.
McManus gave Patti the opportunity to hit the road as an electrician on the Patti LaBelle Tour. Several years and many acts would follow when she eventually met her future husband while working on a Jackson Browne World tour. Scott asked the question of how long she intended to be on the road and she landed at Obie’s Lighting working her way up to VP of Marketing.
Following Obies, was a wild 4 year stint at Production Resource Group that saw the acquisition/consolidation of 19 companies during that period.
After taking a year sabbatical, Patti joined The Designory, a product marketing agency in 2001. She has been there for the last 23 years having gone from Account Director on several accounts to now VP, Efficacy.
