Em Moore (they/them) is a Los Angeles–based lighting designer working across live music, theater, sports, and special events. They earned their MFA in Lighting Design from UCLA, where they studied with Lap Chi Chu. Em was a finalist for the 2026 Hemsley Internship Program and runner-up in the 2025 ACT Entertainment grandMA3 Programming Contest.

Em's practice bridges creative design and technical execution. As a drafting studio assistant for Wasted Potential, they supported concert and touring projects through Vectorworks drafting and design development. Following graduation, they joined Gray Matter Visual in New York, contributing to the US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium and other large-scale live events.

Working across Vectorworks, Depence, grandMA3, and EOS, Em is particularly interested in the role previsualization plays in carrying an idea from concept to production. This interest led them to build UCLA's dedicated Depence previs studio and develop workflows for both theatrical and concert lighting.
