Yacht Lighting
We focus on creating recognizable exterior identities and moods and atmospheres for the interior. We have worked on over a dozen exclusive luxury Superyachts since 2008. These projects conformed to the highest and most demanding standards of entertainment and living spaces in hospitality. We provide full exterior and interior lighting design services as well as consulting for technical lighting challenges.
Witzgall’s passion for yachting, combined with her award-winning lighting design expertise, uniquely positions to specialize in this niche. She has over 15 years experience as a performance racer and is a dedicated, active New York Yacht Club member which gives her a unique, in-depth understanding to address design and technical challenges on yachts.
