Kaan Ercan

Architect & Lighting Designer | Lighting & Project Coordination @ Variolux Lighting

About

I am an architect and lighting designer with hands-on experience at the intersection of design, production, and project coordination. Through my work in the lighting industry, I have been involved in end-to-end project processes, from concept development and technical detailing to production coordination and implementation. My background allows me to bridge architectural design thinking with practical manufacturing knowledge. I am particularly interested in architectural lighting, project-based work, and roles where design quality and execution need to work together. I am currently planning to continue my career in Europe, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, and I am actively learning German.
