We believe in big ideas and we pay attention to details. We are a group of professionally-trained creative thinkers; we are skilled observers who use light to express space and can articulate its dynamic qualities in the tangible language of design. We apply high design standards to all projects regardless of size or budget.

We're visionaries.
We design ways to render your project with light. Our approach includes more than advanced technical solutions. We believe architecture has a soul; buildings are for people. A building's activities, materials, and forms interact to create the whole. And lighting is the cohesive factor that articulates these connections.

We create sustainable designs... and we always have.
We are LEED-experienced designers; our projects have been recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council. We produce sustainable lighting designs by managing energy and maintenance costs and by choosing the right light sources and fixtures. We're conscious - even thrifty - about how much light we use. We apply what we've learned by studying the color and movement of natural light - the most sustainable source.

We're problem solvers.
We're dogged researchers who find the right solution for projects with strict energy codes, tight budgets, and reluctant decision-makers. We help our clients understand why our solutions will work. We use high-quality graphics, narratives, real-world examples, and hands-on demonstrations to explain what we're proposing and why.

We build long-term relationships.
We work with our clients and colleagues for years, even decades. We're honored to receive our clients' referrals and repeat business. Clients who've worked with us on small projects return later to propose big ones. And we maintain great relationships with practitioners in our field: seasoned architects, creative interior designers, visionary artists. We're active members of our design community.
