Jason Ahn

Jason Ahn is a London-based lighting designer with theatre experience from fringe theatres to West End. His professional experience also includes work as a lighting technician at the National Theatre over a period of more than three years and as a freelance lighting technician at Soho Theatre, Southwark Playhouse, Charing Cross Theatre, PRG UK, and Neg Earth. His work is among the first to theorise neuroaesthetics in lighting design and is informed by research into how the brain responds to visual experience.

He shares thoughts about light and neuroaesthetics with professionals and public through talks and writing.
