To me the power of light means so much more than the physical attributes it delivers. It’s the emotional connections it creates, which I believe consciously and subconsciously effects every single human being. Lighting also has a nostalgic quality which is personal to me, taking me back to those atmospheric moments and memories, distant and close, which have been ingrained within me and have made me the person I am today. I believe light is art and this continues to fuel my passion within the collaborative design industry we work within.

I’m fascinated by the connection between light and material. The ability to create something that speaks a universal language and transform a space through something intangible is a powerful tool. During university, I watched an interview of Daniel Libeskind likening architecture to music; ‘the building is the instrument and the architecture the music’. I think the same can be applied to lighting.

Light to me exists at the intersection between art and technology – a sweet spot between the digital and physical worlds, where computer control meets atmosphere and material surface. I’m constantly drawn to learning new tools and techniques, and fascinated by the interaction of light with materials, causing caustics, diffraction and diffusion. Light captivates me for its capacity for immersion and interactivity. We all experience it differently: finding it cold, obscuring, overwhelming, or sensing its warmth, invitation, providing clarity and illumination.
