Ever wondered how lighting design adapts to cultural nuances? Join us for an exclusive conversation with Jinkie De Jesus, the design principal of Lightplan Inc., as she reveals the intriguing challenges and solutions in implementing international lighting standards in the Philippines. From navigating client expectations to making spaces feel more lively and vibrant, Jinkie shares her journey and the cultural adjustments she’s had to make in the early years of her own lighting design practice. Recorded at last year's Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition in China (2023), you'll also gain insights into what sets this event apart from other international fairs. She sat down with cofounder of the Virtual Lighting Design Community, Martin Klaasen.

This episode doesn't stop at cultural adaptations; it dives into the broader topics of public safety and the necessity of brighter lighting in urban areas of the Philippines. Jinkie also shares her thoughts on other expert presentations at the event on topics such as melanopic lighting, light pollution, and biophilic designs in cities like Singapore. To top it off, Martin and Jinkie touch on the dynamic role of the Virtual Lighting Design Community (VLDC) and its impact on the global exchange of knowledge.
