Develop a well-rounded foundation in interior lighting design, covering everything from core theory and human experience to technical standards and real-world application.
This course provides a foundational understanding of lighting design principles and the technical standards governing residential and commercial lighting systems. Students will explore core concepts of lighting theory while gaining practical skills to design solutions that are both functional and visually appealing. Through hands-on projects, learners will develop the ability to integrate aesthetic considerations with regulatory requirements, preparing them to create effective lighting designs for diverse environments.
From understanding how light shapes human experience to selecting luminaires and developing lighting plans, students will build a well-rounded skill set rooted in both theory and application. The course culminates in a final lighting design project that challenges students to bring together everything they've learned into a cohesive, professional deliverable.

This training will definitely help my career. I was able to show my supervisor and co-workers what the software programs have to offer and what I'm capable of when the time comes for creating that construction design team in the future. I was able to provide documentation to my employer that the money spent was well worth it. The training I received at VDCI will become an asset moving forward.

Today, Rebecca teaches an array of Interior Design courses at a local college in North Carolina and also works with high school students around the world as a remote art and design instructor. She is committed to making design approachable, inspiring students to gain confidence in their skills as they create meaningful interiors.
Rebecca is also an Educator member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). Outside the classroom, she writes poetry, appreciating the parallels between poetry and interior design, from structure and rhythm to depth and storytelling. She enjoys spending time with her children and noticing the everyday moments that shape life and design.
