About the job
LIGHTNING STUDIO is looking for an individual seeking to be immersed in an expanse of creative and challenging endeavors, and who never fears to question the norm, in an environment that values growth and opportunity.

WHO WE ARE
Lightning Studio is an architectural lighting design consultancy based in New York that transforms environments into people-centric experiences through the bold power and alluring subtlety of light. Together with designers across levels and disciplines, we craft conceptual narratives with light, execute documentation to realize the design, and ultimately direct a lighting focus to bring everything to life. Our functional and playful style is guided by the belief that light is the defining element of every visual experience. Too often considered as an ancillary design element, lighting does not merely enhance but defines the emotional essence of every environment, and we approach all visual disciplines in terms of this invisible magic. Embracing the full palette of light from the outset of every project empowers us to express opposition of feeling within one concept, creating a true collaboration between interiors and their lighting to manifest meaningful experiences.
