With a wealth of expertise in both lighting design and the Internet of Things (IoT), Martin Klaasen brings a unique perspective to his teaching, enriching the learning experience for students and professionals alike. His engaging blogs and insightful books delve into the intricacies of lighting design, making complex concepts accessible to all. His presentations captivate audiences, blending technical knowledge with practica applications, and inspiring the next generation of lighting designers.

Sahil's workshop exceeded all expectations and how! So many moments across the workshop I said 'Wow' out loud. Sahil was so gripping and full of information. He held everyone's attention beautifully throughout and patiently answered every doubt. His knowledge on Midjourney is unparalleled and his passion and commitment is infectious. Highly recommend to all my friends and colleagues!

Martin is a true innovator, that are not many people who can say that they started out as a designer before computers were mainstream, then went on to launch the industry’s first virtual knowledge sharing platform! His contribution to lighting design is testament to his forward thinking approach and his deep passion for educating the next generation of designers. I feel fortunate to know him both personally and professionally.

Sahil's workshop helps demystify and simplify the introduction to the concept of AI and it's visualization powers for the spatial design community. The practical and hands-on approach was relatable and easy to understand for everyone. Their practical section enabled everyone to apply the learnings almost instantly. Very well structured and delivered by Sahil. Kudos!

Sahil is one of those brilliant minds that combines a great personality with educational skills that leaves you absolutely excited after he leads you through the complex world that is AI. He has mastered the AI tools to a level that allows you to easily comprehend what you can do with it! As a lighting designer I can very much relate to the architectural world (and more!) that Sahil brings to the table. I could not recommend anyone more capable to guide you through the world of AI!

I met Martin through a mutual friend, and within minutes, it was clear we spoke the same language—curiosity. His grasp of lighting design is deep, but what struck me more was the ease with which he shares it. No pretense, no jargon—just clarity, insight, and infectious enthusiasm. Martin’s ability to bridge decades of experience with emerging tech is rare. That’s what led us to co-create a course merging AI and lighting design. What began as a conversation turned into collaboration, and somewhere along the way, a friendship that I truly value. If you’ve listened to Light Talk or worked with Martin, you know this already—he doesn’t just illuminate spaces; he lights up minds. Here’s to more intersections of light and learning!
