Architectural Lighting Designer, Engineer, Graphic Designer, Entrepreneur, Wife, Mum, Friend, Daughter, Triathlete, Problem Solver.
While there are many titles that define me, I always pour my heart and soul into each one. After growing up in Australia, I have had a wanderlust desire for travel and exploration - however my walk through life has always led me back the place where I find peace, reflection and inspiration - the OCEAN. I've always had a glowing enthusiasm for LIGHTING and so when founding a Lighting Design firm that embodied my expertise and passion to share with clients - the combination of ocean waves and light waves - or glowing ocean waves (Noctiluca "Sea Sparkle") was the perfect fit. While I offer a wide range of lighting design and documentation services, I most enjoy the client and human interaction. I welcome every opportunity to solve a problem creatively, and look forward to helping you achieve your next vision. |

What does the Alphabet Soup of certifications mean?
