About Andrea Acciarresi

Lighting and design are not only aspects of my career, but also my passion. Growing up in Italy I was continuously immersed in art, design, and architecture, however, my first dalliance with the art world was at the age of 7 when I entered my first landscape painting competition and then evolved the love affair for the design aspect until the present day., Following my Bachelor of Science in Product Design (Architecture University of Florence, Italy), for more than a decade, I have been working in the lighting industry where my creative nature blended with my acquired technical knowledge. My expertise emerged into developing projects based around and for the people, creating spaces made by experiences and emotions with attention to detail, quality, and an eco-sustainable approach. I designed and worked on award-winning international projects around the globe, varying from Retail, Leisure, F&B, Commercial, Hospitality, Mixed-Use, and Master Planning. My experiences provided me with a greater opportunity of collaborating with internationally recognized leading architecture/design consultant firms on projects for award-winning hospitality groups, developers, and high-end private clients. Specialties:Lighting Design, Creative Director, Lighting Consultant, Project Management, Project Development, Product Design, Team manager, Office manager, Site manager, Problem-solving, Marketing, Business Development, Art Director, Product Design.
