Founder Stories

Lam Lighting

Master Ceramicist, Julie Lam, has been working with porcelain for nearly 30 years. David Lam has been designing lights and managing large corporate lighting brands for almost as long.

Here’s their brave story of a leap from secure jobs to nervously awaiting that first order.
