Today’s post is dedicated to one of our lighting heroes, Koert Vermeulen. Koert, who is number 14 on David Gilbey's renowned list of Lighting Heroes, is an exceptional lighting designer who constantly pushes the boundaries of visual lighting. His work is nothing short of breathtaking, inspiring us and many others in the industry. From architectural lighting to light art pieces and even aerial light shows using drone-mounted lights, Koert's creativity knows no bounds.

We had the privilege of interviewing Koert, giving us a unique glimpse into the mind of this lighting hero. We explore his concept process, his thoughts on storytelling through lighting, and his remarkable portfolio of projects. A great watch whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting your journey in lighting design.

“If I would have had a mentor early in my career, I would not have made so many business mistakes. I miss that I’ve never had the experience of working for somebody else.” — Koert Vermeulen
