New Enlighten Design Studio by BG Buildingworks logo

Enlighten Design Studio was born out of a desire to enhance BG Buildingworks’ electrical engineering practice by marrying it with a lighting design practice. Developing a brand within a brand was done strategically to maximize BG’s original intent – elevate lighting while also allowing for it to be integrated with the company’s other professional services. Enlighten Design Studio’s team is a talented, dedicated, and collaborative group of lighting designers with diverse knowledge and interests.

Similar to BG Buildingworks’ purpose to create exceptional environments where people and buildings thrive, Enlighten Design Studio’s passion is to create elegant and unique spaces for people to live and thrive. With a commitment to thoughtfully and intentionally design healthy, beautiful, and functional lighting designs, Enlighten Design Studio’s work crafts lighting as an artform within the built environment and enriches the space for all who experience it.
