OUR PROCESS
The design team at Evolve begins each project with consideration of our client’s needs. We reject an appliqué lighting approach of using only the latest and most expensive technology available; instead, Evolve develops artistic conceptual lighting that is uniquely suited to each project. With the client’s participation, the concept undergoes revisions to the point of perfection. We prepare scrupulous and detailed documentation, relying on a vast supply of resources and support materials and faithful supervision of the contractor’s work. This carefully detailed hands-on approach, from the first meeting, to drawings and renderings, to the final focusing of the equipment, is the key realization of the firm’s impeccable design statements.

Core Values
At EVOLVE DESIGN our passion for lighting design is in the details and it’s our core values that drive that passion. In each and every project we strive to evoke EMOTION, create ATMOSPHERE, convey SOPHISTICATION, and design with PRECISION. These are the values that drive us….
EMOTION
A biologically-based natural instinctive or intuitive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, perception, mood, or relationship with one’s surroundings. Lighting design creates symbiosis, connecting people with their environment.
ATMOSPHERE
The pervading tone, mood, or ambiance that envelopes a space or environment and is highly influenced by lighting design through form, function, accents, highlights, color tone, color rendering, and circadian rhythm.
SOPHISTICATION
The ability to create a high level of coordination through lighting design-savvy, subtlety, simplicity, and complexity. Sophistication is commonly thought of as a measure of lighting design refinement. Along with sophistication comes social responsibility and a commitment to create energy efficient, environmentally conscious design.
PRECISION
The quality or condition of one’s environment being exact and accurate. Precision is achieved through perfect color temperatures, accurate beam shaping, ample layers of light, perfect light levels, and intelligent lighting control.
