Our Story

Lunora Solutions was founded by Steve Richards—an award-winning technical expert with a global reputation for excellence in live events, broadcast productions, and immersive experiences. After decades working at the intersection of entertainment and corporate events, Steve saw a clear industry gap: organizations needed high-level, precision-focused technical expertise that aligned with real-world budgets and timelines.

Leveraging his extensive entertainment background and global production network, Steve launched Lunora Solutions to bridge that gap. From day one, the company was built to blend the creative precision of live entertainment with the structured demands of corporate productions—offering vendor-neutral, proven technical methodologies tailored to each client's needs.

Today, Lunora Solutions represents a new standard in technical direction, production, and project management. Known for complex problem-solving and executional excellence, the company empowers organizations to compete, innovate, and thrive in increasingly demanding live event environments.

Steve Richards

Technical Director | Live Event Production

From major world music tours to some of the globe's biggest conferences and experiential events, I bring over 25 years of technical leadership on the international stage. My unique methodology is rooted in years spent as a Lighting Director and Screens Producer for artists like Billy Joel and Taylor Swift, and I also held key roles for artists like AC/DC and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as serving as a seasoned technical director for global corporate events with enterprise clients including Bloomberg, YouTube, Amazon, and Facebook.

Leading some of the world's largest tours taught me that in live production, there are no second chances. I learned to anticipate every possible challenge, build robust contingency plans, and uphold the highest standards of technical excellence—principles I now apply to corporate events, live experiences, and broadcast productions across industries worldwide. These practices consistently exceed client expectations and have earned recognition throughout the industry.
