Introducing Waleed Fakousa: A Lighting Hero with a Heart of Gold
Welcome to the Virtual Lighting Design Community's Lighting Heroes Series, "Bringing to Light". In this edition, we had the privilege of sitting down with Waleed Fakousa, Principal at CD+M's Lighting Studio and The Lighting Institute in Dubai.
We were fortunate enough to grab some time with Waleed to get to know the person behind the talent.
“Time is more precious than anything else; more than money or success. It’s the one thing you really don’t have much control of. So make the most of it!”
Here is a link back to this earlier post where David Gilbey graciously endows Waleed as Lighting Hero no. 8. A great one to revisit.
We recap some of it here:
‘Waleed Fakousa is not just a legendary lighting designer; he is a man whose heart is as remarkable as his talent. When evaluating a lighting hero, it is easy to focus solely on their skill and expertise. While that is undoubtedly important, it is the combination of talent and humility that truly sets someone apart. Waleed embodies both qualities effortlessly, making him a worthy recipient of this accolade.
As the Director of CD+M's Dubai office, Waleed leads one of the most successful lighting design teams in the Middle East. His accomplishments are no small feat, yet he approaches his work with boundless creativity, unwavering determination, and a perpetual smile on his face. Waleed makes it all seem effortless.
In the world of lighting design, talent is often measured by the quality of one's work. However, to truly measure a person, we must look beyond their professional achievements and into the depths of their character. Waleed Fakousa's immense heart and genuine humility make him a true hero in every sense of the word. It is with great honour and admiration that we salute Waleed Fakousa for his remarkable contributions to the lighting industry.’
