Chloe Dittloff is a freelance lighting designer and assistant based in Jersey City, NJ. She is a graduate of Mason Gross School of the Arts where she received her BFA in Lighting Design. Chloe specializes in live performance and film.
Chloe seeks to create the bold and unusual in her work as a designer. She believes in the power of light to both wow an audience and cut to the emotional heart of a piece of art. Collaboration and commitment are at the core of all of her work.
When she’s not designing, you can find Chloe planning an elaborate dinner party or making good use of her AMC A-List subscription.
