About
Welcome! I'm glad you are here.
STEK Design Co. was born from the desire to help share knowledge and foster strategic thinking across the fields of the Lighting Industry that are largely divided by purpose (Designers, Manufacturers, Reps). Throughout my career as a lighting designer, I found that my passion is working on projects that are off the beaten path.
​
By combining expertise and passion, we create innovative solutions that elevate your products and designs. Together, we can solve complex challenges and create extraordinary lighting experiences.
