Lighting Design dot NYC was created by Brian Johnston, a sales professional in architectural lighting with expertise in the LED marketplace and sustainable practices. He is currently East Coast Regional Sales Manager for Lumascape, a leader in architectural grade exterior rated luminaires. He has implemented innovative digital tools to strategize e-commerce, internal sales management and operations, as well as developed online resources that promote best practices and expand knowledge about LED products and technologies.

Brian is an activist and ally in the struggle for equality for all people and believes that we must start with the statement “Black Lives Matter” because it is BIPOC communities that are facing the most persecution today. He enjoys discussing the intersection of politics and technology in a connected society.

He holds a BA in political science from the University of Texas and an LC from the NCQLP, and after a couple of old fashions clearly thinks he is way smarter than he actually is.
