Light is driving every single cell in your body right now. It affects how you feel, how you look – and how much you will remember of this sentence. Healthy lighting can boost your productivity, memory and mood. It can even help you cut your carbon footprint. Light can also be a killer. A shocking rise in chronic conditions are directly linked to our twilight indoor lives, from depression and learning difficulties to obesity, heart disease and cancer.
Just as an apple is not a healthy diet, a light bulb is not healthy lighting. But as part of an overall approach to your workplace, school or hospital, the humble light bulb really does have the power to transform your results. Good for people, for planet and for profit.
I work with successful, innovative people from around the world- like you- who want to do just that.

I am a keynote and TEDx speaker, delivering memorable, motivating and solutions-led experiences for team building and professional development. I have been invited to provide media commentary and appeared on the award-winning BBC Four Series Revolutions: Innovations that changed the world.
I host interviews and debates between scientists, lighting manufacturers, specifiers and end-users to understand and then break down the barriers for change in critical sectors: healthcare, education and the workplace.
I work with successful business leaders to develop lighting strategies and staff engagement programmes to boost performance, improve mental and physical health and reduce environmental impact.
