"I had no clue what to do for my house. Building this house has been a dream for years and I wanted to get everything just right. Now I know what good lighting is because I have it in my dream house."

About Mark Ketteran LC
Mark Ketteran became intrigued by light and lighting in his teens. He spent 15 years creating light for the theatre. In 2001 he entered the world of residential and commercial lighting. Since then, he has been combining the art of theatre with the science of light to create environments for his clients.
Mark’s success comes from an understanding of the art, science, and personal relationships that go into great lighting design.
He specializes in working with clients, architects and designers to help create their vision. Mark is known for his sincere and insightful questions which get to the heart of the true purpose of a design. This allows him to develop a finished product that reflects the vision of the client, not just a series of lights hung for great illumination.
His work can be found in his client’s homes, the streets of Kensington, Maryland, Saint Matthew's Cathedral, as well as numerous private and public plazas, buildings and offices.
Mark received a BA in Theatre from Grinnell College and an MFA in Theatrical Lighting Design from Brandeis University. He earned the LC designation from the NCQLP ( National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professional), is a member of IESNA and has won several joint awards for his work on Saint Matthew's Cathedral.
He lives and works out of a 100 year old farmhouse in Mount Airy, Maryland with his wife Amy, daughter Mara, and the ever faithful studio dog, Sasha.n.
