A commitment to ongoing vocational training: Collecting data and organising it in such a way that it can be put into practice in the project. 2. Put the client at the heart of the project: “Understanding each person’s relationship with the areas we design, based on empathy, and understanding design as a service, not as a channel for personal expression. The project is not a channel to express our own creativity as designers; it should be understood as a service, which creates a more committed design philosophy,” she says.

3. Promote corporate responsibility on a personal and professional level to enhance our commitments to the planet and humanity in general. “The things we design can end up re-designing us,” says the lighting designer. “Are we even aware of how much anything we create can end up re creating us? The design of a light influences the time spent in its glow without us consciously thinking about it. This interpretation has a direct impact on our physical and psychological functioning and performance, and, as a result, on the decisions we make at any given time.”
