ArchLIGHT Summit

Women in Lighting+Design DFW is excited to have Amy Bonder, CCO at Luminii speak at ArchLIGHT Summit. Ms. Bonder will be speaking about how Brand statements are integral to long term career development. Personal branding is how you tell your authentic story to others which helps bolter confidence and credibility within your industry and sphere of influence. It helps with building trust, driving focus, networking while setting oneself apart from others. A clearly defined brand statement helps you really laser in on your passion and your expertise. It allows you to have a compass to drive choices on: types of projects that you want to design; cultures in a company that suit you; committees that allow you to feed your passion while delivering your expertise. A brand statement that is effectively communicated allows others to truly understand who you are as a career professional. Employers, customers, peers, etc. can identify you with types or work while getting excited about what you have to say. Careerblast.tv said that a personal brand "allows you to promote yourself at work so your audience knows exactly what you stand for. People with strong personal brands are authentic, stand out from the crowd, and are able to deliver their unique set of skills to a company with moxie and confidence".

This panel discussion brings together architectural design consultants and lighting business partners to discuss their role in the process of specifying lighting and the challenges they face to see a project develop from concept through construction.  This conversation invites partners to ask important questions, challenge the process, and identify ways to work better together to reach mutual goals.  

It's a must attend for those that want to address pain points in the design industry and find solutions.

Join us on this hosted Tour where we will visit participating showrooms where our docent will discuss and identify "Trends in Materials".  

Designers are opting for interesting textures over high-gloss surfaces while mixing materials to add warmth and interest. Many of these material choices incorporate natural elements. When used effectively, these varied finishes can indicate a shift in use within a larger open space. For example, a change in flooring material can indicate a more intimate lounge area or even aid in way finding.

Lighting is essential for emphasizing textures and materials, as well as defining different areas within a space. It continues to evolve with new trends and innovations in design, such as using light to highlight textured walls or create focal points. Varying brightness levels can add movement and visual appeal to office spaces.

Join us as we are guided to see what's trending!
