The set runs Dork, Strawberry Privilege, Blue, Pellegrino Freestyle and Right Look. Each song got its own palette and lighting plan, moving from glitching red static and a giant speaker silhouette into cold blues, a day-to-night drive and a peak-state tunnel.

Fan interactions ran through the whole show: attractable particles that swarm the stage, hands-up moments, a trip sequence and dance orbs for the closer.

I met with Mazen before production to get a read on their style and vibe, and gathered what they already had: current tour looks, album art and footage of live sets. That reference fed straight into the run of show.

From there I oversaw the build. I owned the show tools and the construction of each scene, approved the visuals at every review, tracked the tasks and made the call on when each one was done.

Every show also fed the platform. As the library of tools and content grew, I wrote the specs and direction for new show features, covering how they ran, how they looked and how the audience played with them, then oversaw implementation.
