Hi! I'm Autumn Morrison, owner and operator of Lighting Guru LTD - a website dedicated to lighting - exclusively for homes with the aim of helping homeowners understand & love their lighting choices. 

I began my lighting journey after leaving a successful career in real estate at one of New York City's top real estate firms, City Habitats, post graduation with honours from Stony Brook University, Long Island, NY, with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Child and Family Studies. 

I have always loved homes. Real estate combined my love of homes and my ability to connect with people as well as other strengths, like research, due diligence and relationship-based sales. Real estate was definitely exciting, but it lacked the design aspect I craved. 

I left NYC and moved to Portland, Maine, an idyllic seaside town on the east coast of America. I stumbled into a lighting showroom that was looking for a sales person and I never looked back. The owner of the shop, Kendall Willard, was a true lighting guru (yes, that's where the name comes from). He had a pony tail, loved snowboarding and absolutely loved lights - he understood the magic and passed it onto me. 

When I started working at Lighting Works, they said, 'Oh, Kendall never lets anyone do the displays'. I was doing the displays within 4 months. By 6 months, I had my own office on the top floor. It was huge, sprawling, overlooking the sparkling bay and very, very cool. We spent many a midnight hour, under an Arco floor lamp, parked in Eames chairs, talking about lights and looking over floor plans. I literally couldn't stop. It wasn't work, it was heaven. 

More coming soonish ... 

Meanwhile, call Autumn Morrison (m) 07943469433 to learn more about how and why she can help you with your lighting for your home.

You'll be glad you did, and so will I. Lighting is very much a labour of love and most successful when working in collaboration. Let's work together to make your lighting amazing.
