HLD Gallery: Define Your Light
Spring 2020. One of the guilty pleasures of this difficult time is getting a peek inside spaces that are usually private – the homes of friends, coworkers, even celebrities.
In a recent HLD staff meeting, as we looked at a tile of each other’s faces, we noted the lighting each of us set up for the call, and how we’ve all had to adjust our homes as we spend more time there. As lighting designers, we already know that light is one way we can gain some control over our environment.
Out of that conversation grew a challenge, a question for each of our designers: What inspires you during this time of isolation?
Some of us responded with specifics about lighting our workspaces; others focused on career inspiration or waxed philosophical. Get another peek inside, as we share these responses below.

Sarah Boyer: Light is dynamic. The sunlight and shadows bring a hint of the nature indoors with contrast and this gentle ebb and flow.
