Lighting & Scenic Electrics — Design–Fabrication Alignment

JWD closes the gap between design intent and fabrication reality for theme parks, live entertainment, and immersive experiences. Our specialty is lighting and scenic electrics—including Pixeleering™, a proprietary pixel workflow that unifies complex systems into one authoritative map.

What we do

Design–Fabrication Alignment (DFA): constructability audits, integration planning (power/data/control), risk/mitigation.
Shop-ready documentation: lighting/scenic electrics plans, critical details & exploded views, BOMs, build documentation.
Pixeleering™ (pixel systems): addressing & network strategy, content-to-hardware mapping, authoritative pixel map.
Testing & commissioning: pre-viz/bench tests, commissioning plan & checklists, on-site/remote commissioning support.
Vendor/fabricator coordination: clear scope packages, submittal reviews, long-lead planning, buyout support.

How we work

Weekly stakeholder reviews; more frequent working sessions with shop teams.
No-surprises: the design matches the drawing; the drawing can be fabricated.
Advanced technology infrastructure: High-end Modeling workstations, AutoCAD, Inventor & Fusion capability; proven drawing-set architecture and standards.

Experience Matters

JWD has over 25 years of experience in lighting design and scenic electrics engineering. Our lighting design has been featured on international television and our engineering work has supported Theme parks, immersive installations & Broadway productions.
