Amanda Arikol, the visionary behind Center Beam Studios, founded the company after over a decade of experience in architectural lighting design in New York City.
Her design philosophy centers on light as an atmospheric tool, which can be wielded to create awe-inspiring experiences for a wide range of project types. Amanda has harnessed her passion for the precision, drama, and creative collaboration required in exhibit and gallery design into award-winning collaborations with top architects, institutions, and experiential designers.
Amanda has served as an adjunct professor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and remains committed to mentorship. She regularly advises students from her alma mater, Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, LA), where she received a Bachelor of Interior Design before relocating to New York to pursue her passion for lighting. Amanda is a fixture of the Lighting community, previously serving as Regional Coordinator of the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) New York Chapter, and participating in several speaking and debate panels.
