Foad Shafighi, CLD, IALD, IES
Lighting Department Lead
HGA
An award-winning lighting designer with an international background spanning three continents, Foad brings a deep appreciation for how spaces shape human interaction. This global perspective fuels his approach to human-centric lighting design, where technology enhances well-being rather than serving as a mere feature. His exploration of emerging technologies led to the founding of LightingAgent.ai, a new startup developing an AI-native platform that revolutionizes lighting design workflow for designers and architects, empowering professionals with technology that amplifies rather than replaces creative expertise.
