Chicago Stage Equipment DBA Design & Drafting Software was established in 1986 by founder and CEO, Rufus W. Warren III, when he identified a niche in the entertainment lighting market - the need for an easy-to-use CAD solution for entertainment lighting design, presentation, installation and event planning. The company's flagship program, LD Assistant, has evolved over the years to become the new industry standard for theatrical and entertainment lighting design.
LD Assistant has been quickly adopted by universities teaching young designers theatrical stage lighting and by event planning and production companies for their in-house design and presentation teams, say the company.
"It's our customers who have kept us in business for the passed 20 years and for that we are thankful," says Rufus Warren. "We are looking forward to another 20 years of supporting our users with new and useful tools to speed their design process."
