Name: Michelle Malakoff
Title: Vice President of Design Services
Years Worked at VT: Since August of 2022
Favorite Project: “Make a Wish” I liked the idea that that is a place for children to find their wishes.
Funniest or most memorable memory at Visual Terrain: I think when our whole West Coast team helped with the Rivers of Lights mock-up in Santa Clarita park, at night in the middle of January, was so great. We were cold but we were working all together and even though I was not a Designer or a Technical person, I was able to participate in the mock-up and I felt as part of the bigger team.
Favorite Aspect of Lighting Design: The final implementation is always rewarding to me, lighting just adds the final touch to the design.
What/Who Inspires You: Nature inspires and can still surprise me of its beauty and its resilience to change.
Fun Fact About Yourself that No One Knows: I may be on the business side of the company, but I am a creative person. I like photography, cooking, crafts, painting and gardening.
What is your favorite part about your job? I like the Entertainment Industry because it brings joy to so many people.
