background information
*In 1997 I relocated to Seattle for a brand management position in Nordstrom's private label division.
In 2001, nearly 5 years later, I left the corporate environment again to seek new challenges aligned with
my best skills: creativity, ideation, unconventional problem-solving.
I founded heather lowe DESIGN in 2001: a small business with the mission to enhance urban space
using new-to-market, innovative methods.
hlD specialized in offering institutions affordable, custom, grand scale, digital art prints for interior design -
a completely new service fostered by the introduction of large format printers.

The company also explored computer-generated design applications for exterior building environments.

In 2007, global events utilizing high-tech projection and special effects lighting inspired me to develop
a plan for Seattle to spark new urban energy and increase tourism.
. An art-light concept was proposed to the Port of Seattle in 2007/2008 for Pier 86 on Elliott Bay.

In 2009/10 the proposal was expanded to a major event named AURA that included 15 sites around the city.
We were unable to raise the necessary sponsorship capital during the great recession. . Tampa, FL;Portland,OR and Baltimore now have almost identical, successful festivals.
