Johanna-Mai Vihalem

I’m a lighting designer with work experience from Finland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and France. I work a lot with lighting solutions for architecture, but my heart belongs with the arts - theatre, film and installations.

I run a workshop brand called Dare to Light that helps creative professionals use lighting technology in their work. See more at

I promote the idea that everyone can have thoughts about lighting and with a bit of extra information, excellent lighting can be made happen with few resources.
