Veronika Mayerboeck (MSc) is a lighting designer and architect based in Vienna. Next to her architectural education she studied contemporary dance (Mona May/AT, Tanzquartier Vienna). The symbiosis between space and movement early determined her professional focus on light and human perception. Her approach to lighting is characterized by a strong background in lighting for theatre and performing arts.

Since 2010 freelance lighting designer for theatre and stage, since 2016 technical engineering office for lighting design.
Her awardwinning research project LIGHTSCORES led her exploring phenomenological layers of space and the interconnectivity between light, movement and the body while working with visually impaired kids.
