Lighting Designer + Product Designer

Selected Works

Lighting design is approached as a primary medium for shaping space, perception, and atmosphere. Work is developed through iterative testing, evaluating distribution, diffusion, reflectance, and glare to produce controlled and intentional luminous environments.

Projects span from luminaire design to spatial lighting strategies, with an emphasis on how light interacts with material and architecture. Prototyping, mockups, and fabrication are used to test performance at full scale, ensuring that concepts translate into resolved, buildable outcomes.
