Presenter: Jeronimo Rios Sanchez, Lighting Designer, Electronic Engineer & Automation Specialist at EPM Group
About: Join Jero Rios for a 45-minute deep dive into the heart of lighting design. Drawing on more than 20 years of crafting exterior architectural, urban, heritage, and ephemeral spaces, Jero breaks down his creative process into seven interconnected steps.
Through a curated selection of real-world projects across different scales, you’ll explore how technical constraints and regulations aren’t roadblocks, but catalysts for creativity. You’ll discover how other disciplines can elevate a design, and how engineering can seamlessly serve the artistic vision. Each case study brings its own challenges and solutions, proving there is no single “copy-paste” formula for designing with light.
Finally, this session isn’t just about making a lighting system work. It’s about crafting spaces where people feel connected, comfortable, and inspired: spaces they truly want to remember.
Presenter Bio: Jero Rios is a lighting designer, electronic engineer, and automation specialist who has dedicated more than 20 years to exterior architectural, urban, heritage, interactive, and ephemeral lighting projects. He serves as a link between the artistic and technical worlds: his work seeks to put engineering, control, and regulations at the service of creative intent and of the people who inhabit each space.
At EPM Group, Medellín’s public utility company, he led the Christmas Lighting electronics lab and the team responsible for the innovation, design, and control of the Christmas Lighting Festival in Medellín. He also developed and led the technical guidelines for the Medellín Lighting Master Plan and represented the city and EPM Group in the international LUCI network (Lighting Urban Community International).
He has designed urban, decorative, architectural, and heritage lighting systems for clients in Colombia and Canada. While in Canada, he had the opportunity to learn from and work alongside great designers and creatives at Mulvey & Banani Lighting in Toronto. His background also includes a strong academic foundation: he completed a Diploma in Lighting Design with an emphasis on RETILAP, Colombia’s lighting regulation, at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB) in Colombia, and a remote Diploma in Exterior Architectural Lighting at the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN) in Rosario, Argentina. He has also taught as a professor in the Lighting Design Diploma program at the Universidad de Antioquia and Principles of Electronic Engineering at the Institución Universitaria de Envigado.
He currently continues his path with EPM Group, where he combines design, engineering, and the fabrication of custom lighting products for heritage architectural lighting projects.
