Sound, delivered
Twenty years mixing live sound — outdoor stages and pop-up events, ballrooms, bars and corporate rooms across Southern California. I've engineered the Lake Arrowhead summer concert series for about a decade — roughly thirty shows a summer, every Friday and Saturday from Memorial Day to Labor Day — on house systems and on my own.
Front of house
Mixing for live performance — outdoor stages, festivals, ballrooms, bars, corporate programs and church services. On the house rig or mine.
Production audio
System design, setup and strike, line checks, and stage management for multi-act bills.
Live recording
Multitrack capture of live performance, mixed and delivered after the show.
How I work
I solve problems and I'm easy to work with. I pick up unfamiliar consoles quickly, I've repaired a failed permanent install mid-event rather than calling the night a loss, and I can run a venue's lighting rig as well as its audio — so I can talk to the whole production instead of just my half of it.
Most dates run Riverside to San Diego. I travel further when the job warrants it, including flying out for it.

Testimonials
I have had the privilege of working with Jeff Wilson as an audio-visual technician and consultant with Event Design Lab since the company’s inception. Over the past 20 years, Jeff has consistently demonstrated the experience, technical knowledge, professionalism, and dependability that are essential to producing successful events.
Jeff brings much more than technical expertise to every project. His ability to understand the challenges of an event, anticipate potential problems, and provide practical solutions has made him an invaluable member of our team. I have always been able to rely on his judgment, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job right.
Over two decades, Jeff has earned my trust not only as a highly capable audio-visual professional, but also as someone I can depend on when the pressure is on and the success of an event matters. His experience and willingness to share his knowledge have contributed significantly to the quality of service we provide to our clients.
I am proud to have had Jeff as a consultant and colleague for the past 20 years, and I would confidently recommend him to any organization looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and dependable audio-visual professional.
He’s my favorite husband. I love him so much!
He’s alright.
Studio Two — Photography
Photography
Headshots, portraits, glamour and editorial work. I shoot in the studio or on location — I prefer the studio for the control and the privacy, but I travel when the shoot calls for it.
Sessions
Portrait and headshot sessions run about two hours. Glamour sessions run four to six, with a professional makeup artist on the shoot and time built in for you to actually settle in — the relaxed frames are the ones worth keeping.
How it works
Watermarked low-resolution proofs go up for you to review. You choose the images your agreement covers, I process them, and you get finished high-resolution files. RAW files are available for purchase.
Rights
Every shoot is covered by a written agreement. I retain copyright in the images; you receive a non-transferable, worldwide licence to use your own images in perpetuity. Plain-English summary — the agreement itself governs.
Video
4K capture on a Blackmagic Production Camera for interviews, performance and promotional pieces.
Rates
Every shoot is quoted individually — tell me what you have in mind.
