CONTINUING professional development at wildly illuminating

At Wildly Illuminating, we believe that great design flourishes when knowledge is shared. That’s why we present a curated selection of six CPD topics, each focused on the technical and creative challenges of lighting design. These sessions are drawn directly from the obstacles we’ve seen architects and interior designers face on-site and during the design process. From the nuances of fixture placement to the complexities of material interaction, each topic translates technical detail into practical, design-led insight.

Our aim is simple: to empower our peers with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of lighting’s potential. By bridging the gap between concept and execution, we equip design professionals to make informed decisions earlier, avoiding costly oversights later. These CPDs are not just about theory-they are rooted in real-world problem-solving and a commitment to elevating industry standards.

As specialists in bespoke residential lighting design, we see this as part of our responsibility: to illuminate not only spaces but also minds. Because when lighting is done well, it benefits everyone—designers, builders, clients, and the spaces we all inhabit.
