Leni Schwendinger’s Summary

A public speaker at conferences and workshops, my expertise is focused on the visual environment. I advise professionals in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry and product manufacturers on innovative uses of light and color today... and tomorrow.

Creating and innovating illumination environments for urban nighttime landscapes worldwide, Light Projects creates wondrous spaces with light. For these public spaces our clients are municipalities, agencies and business improvement districts.

For interior gathering spaces such as terminals, stations and cultural buildings, our lighting designs integrate with materials and space.
