My avatar is a photo, which was run through some light filtering to make pop, from a show one of my favorite lighting designers did. Saxton Waller is his name and his company is LSD (Lighting Show Design)...he is one of the more talented designers I follow and his work is the type of thing that motivates me to be a better lighting engineer. FYI the master electrician/production electrican gig is basically the engineer making art reality when it comes to lighting. The designer picks the type of light and does the creative part. I take the creative vision and calculate the power, determine the distribution, come up with the data/signal flow of the rig, gear list, preproduction prep like labels and documentation to allow other to be on board with the plan, and run the crew that installs the show. And yes...I love my job!
