  This discovery is something that Nira expresses not just in words, but in all of her project work. At CBB, she has been a key design team member in numerous award-winning projects, crediting her name with multiple IALD, IIDA and Lumen Awards and a GE Edison Award of Merit. She enjoys having the opportunity to work with world-class architectural firms on projects that include theaters, corporate offices, research laboratories and other special-purpose spaces. Her expertise in custom fixture design for such projects combines innovation with functionality and energy-efficiency.

Nira holds a Bachelor of Architecture from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology in Bangkok, Thailand, and a Master of Fine Arts in Lighting Design from Parsons School of Design, where she has also taught AGI classes for the school’s MFA program.
