Why hire a lighting designer?

  • Continuously educated on avant-garde lighting innovations
  • Skillful transformation of invisible light into striking architectural elements
  • Comprehensive knowledge of physics, optics, electricity, and environmental considerations
  • Maximization of value through competitive procurement and brand collaborations
  • Preliminary cost assessment identifying savings on equipment and installation
  • Detail-oriented team dedicated to designing solutions that harmonize with your living space and personal style

Task Lighting
Set the perfect illumination for specific tasks with targeted lighting from desk lamps, under-cabinet lights, or focused pendants.
Accent Lighting
Showcase art, photographs, and design features with lighting that is three times brighter than your ambient light sources.
  • Daytime

    Kickstart your day with a "Daytime" lighting scene that welcomes you into your private home office with bright, focus-enhancing lights at 9 am.
