Lindsay Gillespie, IALD relocated from New York City to Los Angeles and joined the team at FKA Associates as Senior Project Designer. She brings 14 years of experience to FKA Associates in the field of lighting design.

Her architectural lighting career went on to continue and has given her the honor to work with such prestigious architects as Steven Holl and Frank Gehry while Senior Designer at L’Observatoire International. In addition to architectural lighting and consultation, she also has designed lighting for dance performances and multimedia events. On a more intimate level, Lindsay has a passion for light and materials and has designed and manufactured light sculptures and light objects, which have been commissioned by private clients and interior design firms, as well as featured in gallery exhibitions in New York City.
