I am honored to accept the position of President and am looking forward to working with the incredible group of women on the WILD board. The work that the board has accomplished and continues to do for the advancement and visibility of women in the industry is extraordinary and I can’t wait to contribute.
Nastassia is an associate at Available Light and a proud WILD member in the NYC chapter. She discovered the transformative power of light through her work as a theatre artist before pivoting to architectural lighting. With a strong theatrical sensibility and a keen eye for design, she applies her expertise to a diverse range of projects, including architectural spaces, museum exhibits, immersive experiences, hospitality environments, and educational institutions.
Regional Sales Manager | GVA Lighting
I’m excited to join the WILD National Board as Outreach Chair, focused on growing visibility and building industry connections. After two years on my local WILD NYC board, I look forward to taking what I’ve learned locally to make a bigger impact nationally. I’ve been in the lighting industry for six years, currently as Regional Sales Manager for GVA Lighting, and genuinely love being part of this community. For me, outreach is about showing up, building real relationships, and creating space for women to grow, lead, and be seen.
