Design DNA

What is Design DNA?

Design DNA is a new project that Light Collective have created in conjunction with partners ArchLIGHT Summit and The Lighting Exchange.

It’s the ‘baby’ of the International Family Tree and an opportunity to find out your own unique professional DNA signature. Our professional DNA is something that either makes us stand out from the crowd or helps us identify those that we have most in common with. Looking at experience, location, professional memberships, educational backgrounds and networks enable us to identify our differences and commonalities. Look out for #DesignDNA on social media.

See our examples below - yes - Martin is cleverer and more popular than Sharon but she has a more creative background… :-)
