OCS Lighting + Control

Meet Annie, Principal + Director of Specification Sales and an 18-year veteran here at OCS Lighting & Control!

Asked which coworker she'd want with her on a deserted island, Annie went with brains over beach games: "Kim Elias. She is one of the smartest people I know and doesn't crack under pressure." Kim, consider yourself officially shipwreck-approved.

And if she could be any animal for a day? "Panda. Because I could eat all day, be as fat and lazy as I wanted and everyone would still love me!" Honestly, that's the dream. 😂

Bonus points for the photobomb from her pup, Jinn, who clearly knows who the real star of this post is.

Thanks for 18 incredible years of leadership, laughs, and keeping our specs (and our spirits) high, Annie. 💙

Make the first impression a lasting one.

Lighted mirrors have become the gold standard in hospitality. Add a lighted dressing mirror to complete an experience, and have your logo frosted and illuminated right into the glass for a personal signature touch. Reflective Lighting link in bio!

Meet Tia, Office Administrative Assistant and 4-year member of the team here at OCS Lighting & Control!

When asked who at OCS is the worst singer and what song she could picture them butchering, Tia didn't hold back: "Allison Causky. 'Thank You' by Dido." 😂 Sorry, Allison!

And if she were stranded on a deserted island with one coworker? "Ann Cheesman. She has the patience of a Saint!" Honestly, that might be the highest compliment anyone can get around here.

Thanks for four amazing years, Tia, and for keeping our office running smoothly (with plenty of cat-like agility).
