Meet the Designer behind Lumen

Lucy’s background is rooted in textile design, having graduated with honours from DJCAD. This formal training continues to inform Lumen’s approach to fabric draping, spatial composition and visual storytelling, shaping a design language that moves beyond decoration towards something altogether more considered and intentional.

Following graduation, Lucy founded and developed a fashion and interiors boutique, leading the creative direction across interior layout, trend forecasting, buying and visual merchandising. This experience shaped a refined understanding of curation, tone and customer experience, foundations that continue to influence Lumen’s aesthetic today.

Lucy’s work later expanded into project delivery, where alongside her husband, she co-managed construction-based businesses in Scotland, developing extensive experience in logistics, project management and site delivery. This operational background now supports the delivery side of Lumen, ensuring each installation is approached with calm efficiency, precision and attention to detail. 

Most recently, Lucy worked within the Scottish events industry in a team lead capacity, supporting the delivery of projects with quiet efficiency and a considered, collaborative approach. This experience reinforced a belief that there was space within the Scottish market for a more design-led approach to event hire — one centred around thoughtfully curated pieces that support the work of planners, stylists and florists, and sit seamlessly alongside the existing talent within the industry.
