Renée believes in human-centric design and in finding the beautifully simple solution to a design challenge. Every day is a chance to collaborate with other creative minds and leverage an understanding of light and human factors to create healthy environments that bring delight to users.
Renee is a lighting designer and project manager with experience in a diverse range of projects from infrastructure to houses of worship, historic renovation, and labs. Renee enjoys teaching lighting design for architecture and interior design at the Boston Architectural College.
“The potential of light to impact human experience, necessarily inseparable from space-making and materiality, continues to
fascinate me. To share the transformative power of light is why I am a lighting designer.”
