At CD+M, we are fortunate to have so many talented and passionate designers on our team, and are always keeping an eye out for young designers that have an interest in the study of light. To that end, we recently asked one of our Associates in the Dubai Studio, Ratnakumari, to share a bit of her thoughts on the topic

1). What drew you to want to be a lighting designer?

"I think it was my exploration of various media technologies, which all share a common intersection : light. It never fails to inspire me. My curiosity makes me ask “what more can I do?" as I believe that lighting can fundamentally change the perspective of how we experience a space / environment."

2). What advice would you have for a young person interested in working in this market?

"Seek inspiration but do not imitate, follow your instincts with confidence and learn, consistently and diligently."

3). What do you do most enjoy doing when you're not at the office?

"Quality time with my family, cooking and an evening drive to witness the starry skies."

A historic city in the northeastern suburbs of Atlanta, Brookhaven features many homes designed by Atlanta architects of the pre-war period, and is planning a new City Hall. We’re very excited to share this visual tour of the space designed by our longtime client, Sizemore Group and a great team of consultants!
