Rushing’s lighting group is focused and thoughtful in their work, and integral to every design team’s ability to create great spaces. We truly enjoy working with them, and value their expertise.
So fantastic working with you, can’t say enough wonderful things about how nice it is to collaborate with you. All too often I think there’s a clash between the interior designer and the lighting designer, so this is a great experience. Hope you’re on more of my projects in the future.
