Architectural Lighting Designer
Wellness-focused lighting design — shaping atmosphere, well-being, and the human experience of every space.
With more than a decade of experience in lighting design, what truly excites me about lighting is its quiet, ethereal quality — often overlooked yet incredibly powerful. It's not only a dynamic medium for artistic expression, but also vital for human health and the well-being of both plant and animal life.
With international and local experience spanning hospitality, civic, master planning, landscape, façade, workplace, urban, and residential sectors, I believe in the crucial role of thoughtful architectural lighting design. Lighting not only sets the tone of a space, but also deeply impacts the emotions and behaviours of its occupants.
My passion lies in designing architectural lighting that shapes a space's atmosphere, highlighting the features and elements that define its identity. Through visual cues, I tell the story of a place and guide the visual journey. I see lighting design as a harmonious blend of art, science, and well-being.
We dedicate our time envisioning the occupant's experience — crafting lighting that aligns with your functional, aesthetic, and environmental vision.
Glare-free lighting with appropriate distribution prevents eye fatigue, headaches, and discomfort — allowing people to focus for longer, especially in work or study environments.
Lighting that complements the architecture creates a visually harmonious atmosphere. Soft, warm lighting enhances the aesthetic and fosters a welcoming, cosy environment.
Biophilic lighting elements that mimic natural daylight patterns reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and strengthen the occupant's sense of connection to the natural world.
Circadian rhythmic lighting mimics the natural progression of sunlight throughout the day, greatly enhancing sleep quality, productivity, stress resilience, and mental health.
Ensuring adequate task illumination, proper visibility, and safe, accessible lighting for all users — meeting the true functional needs of the space and its occupants.
Well-planned lighting elevates the luxury feel of your project, increases property value, and reduces future costs for maintenance and renovation.
Facade and plaza lighting concept for a mixed-use commercial tower in Brisbane CBD. The design highlights the building's vertical elements for strong nighttime presence, while the plaza strategy draws inspiration from Kangaroo Point's natural stone formations — creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow across the stepped public spaces.
Entry lighting concept for The Federal — a considered sequence of warm uplighting, planted canopy illumination, and signage lighting that creates a welcoming arrival experience. The design layers ambient, accent, and feature lighting to reveal the architecture progressively as occupants approach.
Interior and amenity lighting across the driveway, entry lobby, façade, signage, and car park of The Federal at 8-14 Maud Street. A considered warm palette creates a cohesive arrival journey from street to residence, with carefully calibrated colour temperatures across each space.
