KARMEN HO

DESIGNER

Karmen’s first memorable encounter with light happened when she was a child, chasing fireflies in the summer evenings. Her curiosity about how one’s surroundings influence emotion and perception expanded when she learned about the atmospheric qualities of light in space. Trained as an engineer at RPI, Karmen left the construction field for design. She finds fulfillment in uniting her background in science with her graduate studies in lighting to create well-illuminated spaces. Apart from lighting, Karmen enjoys listening to music, reading, and hiking trails with her pup.

Srushti Totadri

DESIGNER

Srushti graduated from Parsons School of Design, New York,  with her master’s degree in both interior design and lighting design. Prior to her lighting education, she already had an architectural background from her time in India. Her passion lies in blurring the boundaries between the three seemingly separate fields: Interiors, Architecture and Lighting. She swears by Louis Kahn’s process of creating unmeasured spaces through measurable means — and lighting fits this principle perfectly. When she is not ogling the brownstone buildings in Boston, she likes to read, sketch, and moonlights as a crusader against the term “chai tea latte”.

CARLA WILLE KIELWAGEN

DESIGNER

With a bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Carla has over 10 years of experience working as an architect in Brazil, her country of origin. Being a public space enthusiast inspired Carla to obtain her master’s degree in Urbanism, Architecture and History of Cities, and she is constantly advocating for quality and accessibility in public spaces.  Her interest in urban design also led her to become a researcher and professor. As she matured as a designer, her passion for lighting grew, and eventually brought her to the US, where she earned her master’s degree from the Lighting Research Center in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York. She believes lighting is in the core of people’s experience of architecture and cities – and, therefore, is a fundamental element in any design practice. When Carla is not working, she might be found reading comic books, watching movies, or visiting parks and museums.
