Are interior designers and lighting designers competitive or complimentary? I am on my way home from my first trip to High Point Market and the relationship between interior designer and lighting designer is at the forefront of my mind, a direct result of the interactions I had at Market. Interior designers were everywhere – in […]
I have always been me, yet everything about me- and around me- has changed. This is true of every human on the planet, in every nation: we are always changing. Some of these changes are inevitable: none of us can avoid growing older and encountering the changes that come with aging. Other changes are those […]

My wife and I use our bedroom for sleeping, getting dressed in the morning, and a few other things I won’t mention. Our children, over the course of the past twenty-plus years, have used their bedrooms for sleeping, dressing, and nearly every other activity imaginable.

It’s great to see our work on camera! Legrand made this great video of a project in Atlanta showcasing their LHuman control solution from Vantage, and I got to be there for the event (and ended up on camera, too).

It’s great fun to see some of the blog content showing up in other places, such as the latest article from industry magazine CEPro. Check it out HERE! […]
Most of my blog posts are written at the sit/stand desk in my office from home, a desk that also serves as my main place of work, day after day. Our company began moving towards remote work before the pandemic and never looked back, which means home offices and their lighting are pretty important to […]
And we’re back! It is an honor to be included once again in Designing Lighting magazine. In this issue, I begin a series inviting lighting professionals to change the way they talk to clients about light and parallel my ongoing Light Can Help Us series. Check it out! […]
