Firm Profile

Doubledge Design LLC is a lighting design firm that prides itself on creative &  distinctive lighting solutions for a wide variety of project types.  Our team, with experience in architecture, theatre, daylighting, and project management, provides award winning design solutions. The firm draws upon the diverse background and experience of its principal designer to provide a project with innovative and practical design solutions that improve visibility, create atmosphere, direct visual focus, reveal color/texture accurately, and harmonize with surroundings. 

Our designers work with your team and remain actively involved through all design phases using techniques that help establish common goals and maximize the creative potential. 

-We design lighting solutions based on our understanding of light and space.

Lighting is a discipline that requires the integration of art, science, and business.  Its implications go far beyond the obvious elements of visibility and lighting levels.  It is through an understanding of how light shapes and modifies people and objects as well as experience and knowledge of equipment and systems that Doubledge can help strengthen the over-all design with a solution that blends balance of function and aesthetics.

Doubledge can intensify the visual impact of any project.
