In this special episode, we are thrilled to revisit a familiar face in the world of lighting design. Dr. Shelley James, with over two decades of experience and expertise in the industry, she graced our previous episode as part of the Lighting Heroes Series.

This time, we had the honour of capturing Shelley delivering a keynote presentation at this year’s Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE) back in June 2023 in China. Her talk was titled: "Drivers for Change: Shifting the Conversation from Cost to Value". A great listen.
