Our lighting layout process has been seamless on our end with Donna, since day one. She is so knowledgeable about lighting requirements, when necessary she patiently coaches our reps about application options. She is so responsive and professional with our team. Managing the outsourced layouts has been the easiest part of my job only thanks to Donna.

She makes sure everything runs just the way it should, she can go deep in any complex technical subject, while capable of maintaining a certain lightness, sense of humor… And you can rest assured, she will deliver, every single time.

I have known Donna since taking her AGI32 class in 2019. Donna was also able to do layout work for our company on numerous occasions and her work was always on time and the designs were always what was asked for from the customer. She was always willing to give the extra effort to be sure the customers’ needs were met.

Being able to anticipate needs and likely questions is a skill Donna has.

It’s rare that you come across such incredible talent like Donna! She always demonstrates a solid work ethic, exceptional organizational skills, plus she is self-motivated, dedicated and methodical.

I have worked with Donna Gafford on several Chicago area commercial lighting projects. I rely on her for her knowledge and design expertise for both interior and exterior applications. She is a pleasure to work with and I can always rely on her to deliver the photometric drawings on time.
