Since then, her team has tackled a range of internationally acclaimed projects. From museums to restaurants to hotels and more, Christine and her team use lighting to create dynamic, magical, one-of-a-kind spaces. With collaboration at the heart of their work, they bring technique and artistry to every project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple projects have earned Christine the recognition of the Lumen Award of Merit, including the 2008\/9 New Year&#8217;s Eve Times Square Ball. Additionally, she was named one of the &#8220;40 under 40 Lighting Designers&#8221; by Lighting Magazine in 2019 and was accepted as a member of the IESNYC\u2019s Board of Managers in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Join us as we take a peek inside the creative mind of Christine Hope in this edition of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/tag\/lh-design-questionnaire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Love Happens&#8217; Design Questionnaire<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-meet-christine-hope-of-focus-lighting-in-the-lh-design-questionnaire\"><strong>Meet <em>Christine Hope<\/em> of <em>Focus Lighting<\/em> in the Lh Design Questionnaire<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1021\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CH-Headshot-CURRENT-2023-Color.jpg\" alt=\"Christine Hope of Focus Lighting\n\" class=\"wp-image-94872\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CH-Headshot-CURRENT-2023-Color.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CH-Headshot-CURRENT-2023-Color-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CH-Headshot-CURRENT-2023-Color-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CH-Headshot-CURRENT-2023-Color-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/CH-Headshot-CURRENT-2023-Color-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Christine Hope, Principal Designer of Focus Lighting<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-your-idea-of-perfect-happiness\"><strong>What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect happiness for me has been an ongoing journey based in learning the difference between having fun and feeling truly happy at my core.

It isn\u2019t always easy, but demonstrating to my kids what it means to be a creative designer who is passionate about their work is invaluable.&nbsp;They know that I am here for them to cook dinner together or support them at their school events, but they see I\u2019m also traveling to keep pushing our project goals forward and they are hearing me discuss design concepts or doing construction coordination on Zoom calls. I\u2019m proud that I can expose them to the many facets of life as a lighting designer, and hopefully, I am inspiring them to pursue their own passions.

It never works and always feels too flat or too glary. Lighting needs to be considered, composed, and balanced to feel good and natural. A decorative fixture must fill a room with soft ambient light, while accent lights highlight the special elements, and millwork details fill in the nooks and crannies with warm glow. The result is a scene that just feels magically perfect, and it is impossible to achieve when there is only one lighting element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hard-Rock-Hollywood-Cheryl-Stieffel-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hard rock hotel and casino by Focus Lighting\" class=\"wp-image-94874\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hard-Rock-Hollywood-Cheryl-Stieffel-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hard-Rock-Hollywood-Cheryl-Stieffel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hard-Rock-Hollywood-Cheryl-Stieffel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hard-Rock-Hollywood-Cheryl-Stieffel-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Hard-Rock-Hollywood-Cheryl-Stieffel-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Hard Rock Hotel &amp; Casino, Hollywood, Florida | Photo by Cheryl Stieffel<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-design-motto\"><strong>Your design motto.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>My design motto is a quote by artist Chuck Close, written on a little note that I have pinned to my computer monitor: \u201cInspiration is for amateurs.
