Anita Ozoliņa
Senior Lighting Design Specialist
nordalux Ltd
A Specialist in Light and Atmosphere
Anita's worked with over 300 homeowners, interior designers, and architects across Latvia and the Baltic region. She's not just designing lighting—she's helping people create spaces that feel right. Her approach combines technical knowledge with deep understanding of how light shapes our moods, productivity, and sense of home.
She holds a degree in Interior Architecture from Riga Technical University and spent 14 years researching traditional Latvian candle-making and lighting customs. This isn't academic interest. It's practical knowledge she uses every day. She's published three guides on seasonal lighting approaches and regularly consults on residential projects where climate, culture, and comfort intersect.
What drives her work? The belief that lighting design is deeply connected to who we are and where we live. Latvia's extreme seasonal light variations demand different thinking. Anita's committed to sharing evidence-based practices that honor that unique relationship with light and darkness.
