Shoshanna has worked in sales and manufacturing as well as having been privileged to work with some of New York’s oldest and most respected lighting design firms. Her multifaceted career has taught her to envision bold solutions to clients’ needs and to move those solutions forward to realization.

Currently serving as the President of the New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), Shoshanna is also an active member of the Lighting Controls Technical Committee which develops nationally recognized standards for lighting control.
