Sjoerd is a lighting designer based in the Netherlands.
After graduating as Design Engineer from Delft University of Technology, in 2002, he started giving lectures in lighting design at the same university.
He delivered his first independent lighting project in Rotterdam in 2004; the following year, he co-founded Atelier LEK, specializing in exterior projects.
In 2012, he founded Beersnielsen, with Juliette Nielsen, delivering high-quality lighting, in the Netherlands and abroad.
“I’m looking forward to being part of the Lights in Alingsås workshop family again (I still have the workshop raincoat from last time I participated). Now, with almost 20 years of experience, I hope we can inspire the new generation of lighting designers as much as the workshop did for me then in 2006!”, Sjoerd says.
