Archit Jain
Oculus Light Studio, Los Angeles, USA
As co-founder and principal of Oculus Light Studio, Archit Jain brings extensive expertise and a cross-cultural sensibility to his lighting design projects. Born and raised in India, he studied architecture, and worked as an architect before moving to Los Angeles, USA on a scholarship to study Building Science.
Archit Jain, IALD, LEED® AP, has practiced as a professional lighting designer for over 24 years. Los Angeles and Seattle-based Oculus began in 2012 and collaborates on a varied range of projects. The Studio’s leading-edge design services, combined with a healthy dose of pragmatism, has led to growth every year, with over 80 design awards, including 2 IALD awards.
Archit plays an active role in the lighting community, with lectures and critiques at area colleges and contributions at national and international lighting forums.
People are key to the lighting design process. Who influences what a lighting designer does over their career? What is an ingredient that changes from project to project and still is critical to the success of the project? How does humility and fearlessness influence lighting design? How can we create teams that perform at the highest levels, and at the same time have work-life balance? Join Archit Jain and Martin Klaasen in a discussion about lighting design, the business of lighting and the importance of creating trust and empathy within design teams.
