About Us
LittleMachines was founded by working entertainment industry professionals who solve workflow problems by building the products they can’t believe didn’t already exist.
OUR STORY
LittleMachines was born from the road - the constant search for gear that actually does what you need it to do in a live environment.
Our founders bring years of hands-on experience in entertainment across concerts, theatre, corporate events, film, and beyond. When the tools didn’t exist to solve a real problem, we built them.
That’s the LittleMachines philosophy: find the real problem, build the smallest possible thing that actually solves it, and make it reliable enough to trust in any show environment.

Andrew Webberley
Andrew Webberley is a Los Angeles–based lighting programmer and proud member of IATSE Local 33 and Local 728. He currently serves as one of the lead lighting heads at the Hollywood Bowl, where he works across an extraordinary range of live performances and productions.
Andrew began his professional lighting career on The Lion King at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. After working on several additional productions there, he spent 12 years programming live music for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. During that time, he also programmed lighting for numerous major awards and entertainment events, including the Golden Globes, BET Awards, ESPYs, and the Oscars Red Carpet Pre-Show.
Throughout his career, Andrew has worked alongside Broadway lighting designers, rock bands, television productions, theatrical companies, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Across all of those environments, he kept encountering the same challenge: maintaining consistent and predictable atmospheric haze.
That real-world problem led Andrew to begin developing a better solution. After years of experimentation, prototyping, and refinement, his work evolved into HazeIQ — a system designed to monitor atmospheric conditions in real time and help maintain consistent haze levels throughout a production.
Andrew co-founded Little Machines to turn practical problems encountered backstage and on set into thoughtful tools built specifically for the people who use them.
