Ziad initially trained and practiced as an architect and interior designer before a fascination with light led him into the realms of lighting in 2003, and consequently to a deeper specialisation in landscape and urban lighting design and planning. His main aim is to employ and modulate light to create human-centric and inclusive night environments, satisfying functional, human, aesthetic and environmental needs. Having worked on projects with a wide diversity of global locations, scale, function and type, he has been active in creating designs for small private projects, commercial spaces, high-end resorts, public parks, and large urban developments. Ziad’s passion is in generating original strategies and relevant lighting techniques specific to the parameters and requirements of each situation – with every job there is the opportunity to push beyond the generic and to create a unique project-specific solution.
