"Light has the seemingly magical power to transform objects into environments and environments into experiences."

"Is lighting design an art or a science?  I think of it more as a culinary challenge requiring knowledge, skill, experience and a whole lot of carrots to do it right."

E. Teal Brogden

"I have a great enthusiasm for the art of fine wine making.  Just like in lighting design, where one blends art and science, the difference between a very good and a great final result can be fairly subtle, but the effect on an individual, emotionally and intellectually, can be profound."

Hayden N. McKay

"I am inspired by nature's lighting effects - the soft ambiance of daylight, the brilliance of sunlight, the drama of a storm - endless variations of color, direction and intensity.  The joyous integration of light and architecture starts with natural light."

Carrie Knowlton Hawley

Associate Principal

"Lighting is that intrinsic element of architecture that taps into our emotions, helping to reveal, transform, and satisfy the architectural soul."

Tina Aghassian

Associate Principal

"My motto ... to create spaces that reveal the subtle nuances of light and capture the architect's intent.  To understand the impact the lit environment has on its occupants.  To help create spaces that are functional as well as inspirational to the end users.  To use art, music and nature as inspiration."

Lee E. Brandt

Associate Principal

[NY]

"Razzle and dazzle are the eye candy of lighting.  But there is a practical side too!  I get inspired creating solid design solutions that are responsible, sustainable, and functional."
