Alessandra Bertolini is an independent Lighting Designer with over 19 years of experience working with light across a wide range of fields. With an architectural background rooted in Italy, she brings a holistic understanding of architectural projects, engaging with every aspect of the design process.
After completing her degree in Architecture at Università degli Studi Roma Tre in Rome, Alessandra pursued her passion for light through a Level II Master’s in Lighting Design at Università La Sapienza, also in Rome. She further expanded her expertise in architecture and interior design through a Colour Design course at Osservatorio Colore Liguria in Genoa, and a Hotel Design course at PoliDesign in Milan.
Deeply passionate about every facet of lighting design, Alessandra has worked on both outdoor and indoor architectural lighting projects, and has also gained experience in stage lighting.
Before moving back to London in 2020, she spent several years in Barcelona working for an award winning lighting consultancy, where she served first as Associate Director, overseeing international projects across the UK and EU, and later as Principal and Project Director. Prior to that, she held the role of Senior Lighting Designer at two award-winning London-based lighting consultancies.
In 2016, she was honoured with the 40 under 40 Lighting Design Award, recognising her outstanding contribution to the field.
Alessandra’s diverse international experience and architectural sensibility continue to shape her distinctive approach to lighting design today.
Proud Woman in Lighting.
