Lighting Design and Visualization


Twin Axis Principal contributed lighting design, experiential environment strategy, and visualization for Creativity Blooms — an immersive public art installation by Hou de Sousa for Adobe in downtown San Jose. The scope spanned concept through technical delivery. Lighting design concepts, 3D renderings, and dynamic LED animation studies were developed to define the visual character of the installation. A technical feasibility report with product comparisons and recommendations ensured the design vision could be realized within real-world constraints. Lighting layouts and electrical diagrams were reviewed to close the gap between design intent and construction reality. Light was the primary instrument. Carefully composed fixture selections and color sequencing accentuated sculptural trees, illuminated root structures, and Adobe branding to create depth, atmosphere, and visual drama that shifted with movement through the space. The result transformed a utilitarian pedestrian connection into a surreal public environment rooted in both San Jose's agricultural legacy and Adobe's creative identity.
