We listen. We learn. We collaborate. We design.
We believe good lighting is the best supporting actor to a well-designed space... and it doesn't happen by accident. Each project is thoughtfully curated and executed with the utmost detail from concept through completion. When we are involved at the beginning of the project, we can work together with the design team to seamlessly weave the lighting into the overall design based on the architectural aesthetic, the function of the space, and the client's preferences.
We serve clients nationwide and are ready to help you enhance your space with exceptional lighting.

She was very thorough, informative and has a great eye for detail!"
- Client, Chicago, IL

With Kiersten’s designs, now each work space is well illuminated and once again food preparation has become a joy! Her contribution to the overall renovation project was very valuable."

Kiersten is so personable and cares about her clients tremendously. She also generously gives her time back to the design community by helping lead workshops on lighting design for NCIDQ candidates. She is a pleasure to know and truly a great designer."
