Lighting design is currently an unlicensed profession.
Through self-regulation, lighting designers uphold high standards, collaborate across disciplines, and deliver immersive experiences, fostering a dynamic and diverse field that embraces the transformative power of light.
Lighting designers typically work closely alongside architectural teams, collaborating on projects to enhance spaces, evoke moods, and highlight architectural features through expertly crafted lighting solutions.
