A toolkit for being a successful lighting designer

I can highly recommend the studies to those interested in becoming a good lighting designer, and with some experience in lighting design.

I came into the program with 5 years of lighting design experience working in an electrical engineering office. I thought I was a decent lighting designer and the program would help me fill in some gaps in my knowledge. And indeed I was able to get answers to a lot of questions I had, but more. the program pushed me to develop in the multiple aspects of design work: communication, CAD drawings visualizations, presenting, cultural aspects of lighting, heritage work, public projects, stakeholder management, and in many other topics. And most importantly, group work.

It has been interesting and fun working with other students from different cultural and work backgrounds. Everyone brings new perspectives to lighting, and it has been great having these conversations.

The design management side of the program is not be overlooked, what an asset to the study program. Implementing what I learned from the lighting design and the design management into my current work processes has had immediate positive affects. The price of the program is worth it.

And 2 last notes:
1. The program gives you a toolkit for being a successful lighting designer.
2. You get what you put in.
