Junior Lighting Designer
“Precision is a form of hospitality. Every millimetre and every lumen is a courtesy to the room.”
Junior Lighting Designer at Orava, graduate of Universidad de los Andes in Colombia, with experience in residential architecture in Bogotá. Passionate about the transformative power of light, she is developing her expertise in lighting design and exploring how light can shape atmosphere, enhance architecture and influence the way spaces are experienced.
Within the studio she supports concept development, reference research and technical documentation — translating early sketches into the drawings and schedules that carry a scheme through to site.
