The Light Within Us reframes light as radiation—not decoration—revealing its biological power to heal, harm, or help. Written by a PTSD survivor for designers, it challenges norms, champions neurodivergence, and urges healthier, more inclusive human habitats.
Bridging science and neurodivergent insights into actionable guidance, promoting healthier, more inclusive lighting practices with measurable biological impact.
– Faraz IzharWritten from personal lived experience, Xander is on a passionate mission to rethink lighting through the lens of human biology — vital work for the future of lighting design and our mental wellbeing.
