Based in London, Lewis is a creative lighting designer and technologist with a specialist interest in the relationship between light, space and atmosphere. His work spans theatrical, cultural and architectural environments, combining artistic sensitivity with technical precision.

His work sits at the intersection of creativity, technology and engineering. He is interested in how light can shape atmosphere, guide attention, support storytelling and transform spaces, while being driven by robust, practical and carefully considered technical design.

His theatrical foundation informs his approach to architectural and cultural projects, where he obsesses over the finer details of light: its quality, colour accuracy, dimming performance and control behaviour, each of which plays a vital role in the overall experience of a space.

In July 2019, Lewis graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with a First Class Honours Degree in Technical Theatre Arts. After graduating, he began his career as a Lighting Technician at the Royal Shakespeare Company. During his time with the RSC, Lewis helped create many of the bespoke lighting effects that have been seen on stage throughout their productions.

Since then, Lewis has worked as a freelance lighting designer and technical consultant for theatrical and arts events throughout the UK. He has gained a reputation for his elegant and practical designs, expanding his skills in the fast-paced world of the live arts.

Beyond live events, Lewis has developed several products for the theatrical and events industry, collaborating with industry peers and participating in international discussions around the future of lighting design.

Lewis previously worked as a lighting designer at Beam Lighting Design, where he collaborated with museums, galleries and exhibition spaces throughout London. His projects included work for prestigious sites such as the V&A, British Museum, Kensington Palace, The Design Museum, 180 Strand, Somerset House and the Royal Observatory.

Lewis currently works for Isometrix Lighting + Design. In his role as Technical Lighting Systems Designer, he focuses on integrating industry-standard entertainment lighting protocols with the elegance, precision and robustness of the architectural lighting world. Within this, he develops lighting control strategies, pixel-mapped systems and bespoke technical solutions for complex, highly detailed lighting environments, often creating custom products and systems to meet the creative and technical ambitions of each project.
