We are born of light...we only know the world as it is evoked by light. -Louis Kahn
PRINCIPAL
Since founding Stroik Lighting Design in 2014, Chris enthusiastically approaches projects as opportunities to play with light and shadow - to manifest the spatial or object's essence and expression. With a foundation as an architect, Chris is keyed into the meanings, objectives, and goals of architectural and performance environments - always interested in pushing the envelope while taking the backseat to the greater objectives of the designer's, architect's, or Owner's vision. When Chris isn't at work he can be found enjoying time playing guitar, kayaking, skiing, water tubing or sailing with his family.
