Ambience Lighting

Not your typical marketing for a not-so-typical Australian lighting studio

Spanning art direction, branding, video and publication design, my work with Ambience transformed their communications into something with personality, clarity and visual impact. Each piece brought mood, materiality and humour into focus — helping Ambience stand out as creative and grounded, not just technical.

April Fools 2022

Each year ambience celebrates April Fools with an elaborate lighting prank. In 2022 we told customers we were substituting our finishes with LEGO bricks due to a global shortage of materials.

We developed a set of images used across the website with a 3D artist, inviting customers to make their own custom LEGO light.


The visual gag was so well received that ambience's social following urged them to produce one for real, and it won an international lighting award!?

Aligned with their dedication to sustainability and collaboration, I took the initiative to donate excess stock, contributing to the illumination of their new venue in Fitzroy.
