Episode 361 - Lighting With Intention with Deborah Gottesman

Deborah Gottesman is a lighting Designer in Toronto, Michael’s neck of the woods. Gottesman Associates has been designing lights since 1999. Deborah stresses, as a lighting designer, to consider what’s best for the client. For instance, one client who was visually impaired, needed to see everything. So a design with contrast and shadows, which would be pleasing for most of us, just wouldn’t work for this person. The “intention” in this case was flat, even lighting, and that was the best design for that customer.

Deborah has a unique contextual understanding of lighting from all perspectives; her career
spans over 30 years in all facets of the lighting industry including design, engineering,
management, education, and manufacturing. An electrical engineer with an MBA in Real Property, Deborah has successfully worked on projects in many sectors, with particular expertise in Heritage, Residential, and Commercial projects. She has taught lighting at all levels to a wide audience from students at colleges and universities to senior architects. Deborah currently sits on the Illuminating Engineering Society Residential Lighting Committee, and is a past president of the Toronto Section. She also currently sits on the Canadian National Committee of the Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage (CIE).
