Welcome! I'm glad you are here.
The difference between a space and an experience is often just light. STEK Design Co was founded on the belief that good lighting design should be a true partnership, not just a deliverable. Today, we work with architects, engineers, and manufacturers to deliver lighting design and product development that meets both your vision and your technical requirements, from first concept through construction administration.
STEK Design Co is certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), and as an SBE/WBE in Denver.
