Creating a Complete Sensory Experience, with Sooner Routhier

The Weeknd. Motley Crue. Imagine Dragons. Kelsea Ballerini. Bon Jovi. The Lumineers. Muse. Pentatonix. Halsey. Game of Thrones? If you're asking what those all have in common, the answer is simple: Sooner Routhier, one of the top designers in the entertainment industry. Beginning her career working for New England based Rainbow Productions, Sooner would quickly take her lighting talents to groups like Chevelle and Audioslave. From there, the sky was the limit, as Sooner has piled up awards and recognitions (Parnelli, Top Dawg, Live Design, etc.). In our discussion, we talk about her path from small-town Vermonter to world renowned designer, the many people she credits for helping her along the way, and what it takes to bring an artist's creative vision to life.
