About Me

Şeyma Kılıç – Architect & Lighting Designer

I am an architect and lighting designer specialising in human centric lighting, with a focus on healthcare, workplace, and architectural environments.

After graduating from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, I completed my master’s degree in Lighting Design & Technologies at Politecnico di Milano. I have worked in Italy and Türkiye on interior, façade, and landscape lighting projects across various scales.

Alongside my design practice, I deliver lectures and training on the biological, psychological, and visual effects of light, circadian rhythms, and human centric lighting. In 2022, I founded WELL Lighting Design & Consultancy .
