How did you end up becoming a lighting designer?
I was previously practising interior design and it was by chance that I came across this specialization and its amazing affiliation and contribution to the wider built environment. I then went on to join a lighting division within engineering firm Parsons Brinckerhoff (now WSP), while pursuing a formal education in lighting design at the German Institute of Applied Lighting Technologies. My formative years were chiseled by an engineering perspective, as well as by one of the pioneering lighting designers, Louis Clair. This occurred when he mentored me while working together on the lighting master plan of Resorts World Sentosa. He refined my perception and thoughts about the intangible magic of lighting.
Why did you decide to go solo in 2012 and set up Limelight Atelier?
