Firm

Linnaea Tillett Lighting Design Associates creates imaginative, technically innovative and ecologically-sensitive lighting programs for the landscape and built environment. With a reputation for lyricism and a passion for restraint, the firm has forged a highly acclaimed body of work by finding the poetic in the functional, the elegant in the robust, and simplicity in technical and regulatory complexity. Led by an environmental psychologist, the firm has pioneered an ecologically-sensitive approach to lighting in the landscape that centers and protects local habitat: human and non-human alike.

The firm has 35 years of experience with projects across the United States and beyond. The lighting design team leverages additional expertise in the fields of environmental psychology, landscape architecture, interior design and sculpture. Working across a range of typologies and scales, the portfolio includes urban parks, waterfronts, cultural campuses, connective corridors and master plans as well as outdoor sculpture collections and public art.  Known for their commitment to seeing each project successfully built and maintained, the firm is a frequent collaborator with leading landscape architects, architects and public artists including Maya Lin, Toshiko Mori, Nelson Byrd Woltz, OLIN, Gustafson Guthrie Nichols, Civitas and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates.

The firm is a nationally certified WBE.
