Congratulations to my freind and colleague Scott Benkendorfer And the team at Captivate. Welcome to guild.

INTRODUCING our newest member: CAPTIVATE, master integrators in Central Texas. Captivate, Inc. doesn’t talk about technology—they talk about how people feel in a space. Their projects are less about gear and more about emotional precision: lighting that changes how a room lives at dusk, sound that feels like memory, interfaces that vanish into the background. They build quietly brilliant homes in Texas that don’t scream “tech,” but welcome you warmly and beg you to stay. Stay tuned as we get to know this amazing firm, add them to the website, and more. For now, help us welcome the Captivate Team to our Alliance!

Love this new video from our friends at DMF Lighting. Expert, poetic perspective from a visionary cinematographer... with brilliant visuals that bring their new PhaseX product to life. Our world has always included incredible lighting solutions, but it just keeps getting better. #lightiseverything

Glowing feedback from our member firms who attended The Guild's Client Experience Summit in Austin last week! One of many gatherings, trainings and experiences planned for 2025. Love getting our teams and partners together. Were you in attendance? What was your favorite part? Thank you to the great city of Austin, all our presenters and of course to Lutron Electronics, Ketra, and Blue Origin. And to DSI Luxury Technology for these great shots! 👋

The scope of work in our world (think smart homes, but on a much bigger and dreamier scale) continues to expand, and lighting professionals who transition into our industry are often LIT UP to discover: 💡 More client access from the very beginning—not always of course, but many projects allow more 1:1 time with the client to explore, educate, and dream together on breathtaking projects. 💡 Close collaboration with control system designers—allowing for a deeper understanding of both systems, allowing for a more cohesive and considered design... and end result for the client. 💡 Hands-on job site involvement overall—interacting with GCs and their teams, meeting architects, interior designers and more... this kind of teamwork ensures a much more successful realization of the client's vision. 💡 A rewarding hand-off experience—witnessing the client’s first reaction, often during a magical night walk with the home glowing inside and out, music playing, and smiles all around. As with everything in our industry, it's so much more than just lighting—it’s about creating unforgettable experiences. If you agree, meet the best in the industry via The Guild Integrators Alliance. Many of our member firms are looking for the best and brightest lighting professionals. Visit https://lnkd.in/gnjEV8bT to see who's hiring closest to where you live.
