What separates a creative lighting designer from a lighting technician? A technician installs fixtures. A designer composes a picture with light. At Lite Visions, Joe Yanulevich brings both skills to every project.
One client put it this way:
“Joe is not just a lighting installer, he’s a creative artist, a lighting luminary! He produces ambiences that illicit positive emotions with each experience.”
— a client
What does a creative lighting designer do differently?
A technician asks where the lights should go. A designer asks how the space should feel at night. Then every fixture serves that feeling.
Joe starts by listening. He learns how you use your property and what you love about it. Then he designs a plan that highlights those features with soft, layered light.
“Joe is a professional, on time, an artist with landscape lighting. Joe creates a magical setting with light and shadow.”
— a client
Why does Joe’s stage background matter?
Joe spent more than 35 years in concert and theatrical lighting. On stage, light creates mood and guides the audience’s eye. Joe brings that same approach to homes and gardens. His work has also earned Masters of Landscape Lighting recognition.

How does creative design change a property?
Instead of rows of path lights, Joe might place soft downlights high in the trees. A winding driveway becomes a calm, moonlit path. Trees, architecture and garden features each get just the right touch of light.
“From the outset it was obvious that Joe is a lighting artist and we trusted his knowledge and creativity in designing and implementing an intriguing lighting plan.”
— a client
Our signature look is warm 2700K light, soft and low, with no glare.
“Wanted soft lighting that I could appreciate from both inside and outside. Very satisfied and appreciate the artistic approach to lighting!”
— a client
What happens after installation?
A designer’s work isn’t finished when the last fixture goes in. After installation, Joe returns at night to fine-tune the aiming. He adjusts each light until the whole scene feels balanced.
“Just last week, he returned on three separate occasions to fine-tune the system and conduct maintenance, making sure everything was just right.”
