Jordan Benaderet

With a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Interior and Architectural Lighting Design from Parsons School of Design - The New School, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design, Photography, and Video Art from Purchase College School of Design.

Jordan, a Native New Yorker who completed undergraduate work in graphic design, and photography and his post-production work in TV and Film with such networks as HBO, Showtime, and Sony Pictures. Honed his passion and focus to express his vision in the larger venue of lighting design.

Jordan credits several influences while traveling abroad that led him to his present approach. His exposure to the sensibility of design and architecture during his travels in Japan, invigorated his interest in constructed settings, while his work on olive groves in Spain and farms in Belgium, taught him to value a connection with nature. This experience of wholeness, rather than disconnection, could inspire protection and care for the world. He uses that pull and curiosity as an additional lens for his design analysis and solutions in the constructed environment.
