Welcome to my 'Read' page, your digital library for delving into the illuminating universe of lighting design through the written word.
Here lies a treasure trove of thought-provoking ideas, accounts of my professional experiences, and analyses of evolving industry trends, all encapsulated in my regular blog posts. A bit of ‘light’ reading to take you on the journey with me as I express all my thoughts in writing and along the way, guide you through the often charismatic world of lighting design.
Pay it Forward
Paying it forward is something I've embraced throughout my career. I’ve always believed that sharing my expertise can help shape the paths of those who follow. When I was invited to be part of the Silhouette Awards, I knew immediately that I wanted to participate. My mentee, Cristina, is enthusiastic about making her mark in the lighting industry. Through this mentorship, I’ve not only guided her but also formed a lasting friendship. My drive to mentor continues to fuel my writing, sharing my vision and experiences.
Wine-ding Down
Our Cape Mentelle wine tasting hall project in Margaret River was a proud recipient of the 2024 IES Excellence Award in lighting design. More recently we completed the specialized lighting for a wine storage facility in Perth, called the State Cellars, offering property owners with a lack of storage space to store their prized wine collection in specially conditioned facilities, accessible 24/7. Not only are temperature and humidity controlled, lighting is also kept to a minimum through light sensors switching the warm non-UV containing lighting only when presence is detected.
The Power of Infinity
I'm back from attending three major lighting events in the first half of 2024: Light Middle East in Dubai, Light and Building in Frankfurt, and the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition. It's fascinating to see the growing influence of the lighting industry, especially in China, and the integration of new technologies like AIoT. The emphasis on knowledge sharing and the theme of "the Power of Infinity" at GILE reflects the exciting direction the industry is heading towards.
