Gilmore Lighting Design was founded in 1997 by Debra Gilmore. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, Debra has 30 years of experience in commercial and select residential lighting.

Gilmore Lighting Design is a Bethesda, Maryland-based architectural lighting design and consulting firm. Our projects win awards and enliven spaces. We provide technically sound, highly creative lighting design solutions for projects ranging from a 16th century cultural heritage site in Saudi Arabia to a LEED Gold office building to project-specific custom fixture design. We have a diverse domestic and international client base representing institutions, government, and private corporations.

Our team includes LEED-experienced and LC-certified lighting designers. Debra Gilmore serves as the Principal designer on all projects and is supported by a full-time professional staff. When needed, we draw upon an exclusive list of consultants in fine arts, graphics, music, science, engineering, and theater to augment our perspective.

As a 100% woman-owned business, Gilmore Lighting Design (legally
D. Gilmore/Lighting Design) is certified as WBE by the Maryland Board of Transportation, SWaM by the State of Virginia, and SDB by the Federal Government's Small Business Administration. We are members of the Illuminating Engineering Society, American Institute of Architects, and Professional Lighting Designers' Association (pending).
