Hi,
I’m Helene
I'm a lighting designer with an MSc from Aalborg University in Copenhagen and a deep passion for exploring how light shapes the way we experience the world. To me, lighting is more than a technical skill - it's a form of artistry that can evoke emotion, create atmosphere, and transform ordinary spaces into meaningful experiences.
My path into lighting design started almost by accident - during an exchange semester at Paris College of Art, through a small project on how light and shadow shape the way we perceive space. I love the challenge of balancing creativity with functionality, ensuring that every project not only looks beautiful but also enriches the lives of those who encounter it.
Collaboration is at the heart of my process - I enjoy working with others to develop ideas, refine details, and bring concepts to life. I'm adaptable, communicative, and committed to seeing projects through from the first sketch to the final glow.
Most importantly, I believe design should be fun. When you enjoy the process, that energy translates into the work itself, allowing others to feel it and connect with it. For me, creating light is about sparking not just illumination, but joy and shared experience.
Have a look around and if something resonates, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always happy to connect.
