It was a pleasure working with Staci on new lighting design for our business. She completely understood my vision, and gave me tons of great ideas and options, and then seamlessly executed the project. The space has a new, totally polished and professional look, and we have gotten tons of compliments. I highly recommend Staci for any of your lighting needs, and look forward to working with her again on future projects.

Staci is a pleasure to work with, and she is an expert in her field. Staci's great eye and immense experience turned my poorly-lit apartment into a comfortable, warm, welcoming home. Staci is responsive and timely in her communication. The contractors with whom she works provide the highest quality service and are wonderful people. Any lighting needs I have in the future, I'm going directly back to Staci!

Staci has been an absolute godsend. We met her when an ongoing renovation project had gone horribly wrong – she single handedly rescued our renovation and set us back on the right track. She has provided us not only with top notch lighting expertise but also common sense problem solving in the world of NYC construction. We are so happy with how our renovation turned out – and the lighting is the best thing about it! We're so grateful to Staci for her guidance, professionalism, and patience. We really don't know where we'd be without her. We couldn't recommend her work more highly!

Staci is the lighting designer you need! We are super happy with the lighting she designed for us. We visit our neighbors in the building and we are so happy we invested in lighting instead of keeping the harsh overhead light installed by the builders.

I purchased an apartment in NYC that needed a full overhaul of the lighting situation. The bedroom had no lighting (just a outlet with a switch), the living room and kitchen had old track lights, and all of it was a very 70's/80's style in terms or both appearance and yellow-tint color. "Depressing" and "Smoker's Teeth Yellow" are the words that best describes it. Staci helped change all that!
We redid the whole space's lighting. Due to building restrictions recessed lighting was not an option, but she worked around that. Staci toured the space with me, took input from me (and my interior designer) on what I was looking for, then came back to show off the components that we could in-person to see how they'd really look and cast light. The end result is wall sconces in both the bedroom and living room, new fixtures in the kitchen, entry way, breakfast counter, hallways, and bathroom.
During the process Staci was easy to work with, showed off her extensive knowledge in residential lighting, and kept my budget in mind. I'd absolutely work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking to update or replace the lighting in their space.

Staci’s lighting design is one of my favorite additions to my apartment, which was completely gutted. It was such a joy to work with someone who is a consummate professional and knows her field inside and out. Staci listened to what I wanted and immediately knew the products to suggest and plan to design. Though that sounds simple, it is not. The efficiency was as delightful as the end product. I have been told that I drive contractors crazy with my desire for fine detail. Working with Staci was a study in contrast. There were a few items I was not 100% certain about but decided to trust her conviction. I am so grateful I did. The art lights she selected draw attention to the art rather than the light. I appreciate her eye for the smallest detail and respect for my sensitivity to cold, white LED light. I cannot recommend her strongly enough!

Working with Staci is a unique and rewarding experience. From the get go she was professional, asking all the right questions, listening well, offering solid advice based on her years of experience and, more importantly, observing how we interacted with each other. While transforming how our home was exciting, it was also angst-making---no one likes change. But Staci understands people and she knew when to push and when to back down. One of the many benefits of working with her is her long and robust relationships with the various service providers needed to get the job done. We quickly came to trust her electrician, Danny, as we trusted her. As a result, the whole experience was, and remains, one of the smoothest renovations we have ever experienced, And that's saying something in NY where nothing ever goes to plan. Thank you Staci.

We knew we were in over our heads when we decided to replace all the lighting in our 1 bedroom NYC apartment. Our lighting vendor highly recommended Staci to design a lighting plan. Being in the design industry ourselves, we know the importance of hiring experts in the field to make smart and beautiful recommendations. Staci's expertise and influence in the lighting world is extensive! Staci set up an initial call to review our needs, get a sense of our style and lay out a clear roadmap of next steps. She made 3 visits to our space: an initial walk through, then a visit to test out a few different lighting recommendations/requirements (color temp and lights) and meet with our GC/electrician. Then a final visit with our GC once construction began. Staci never wasted time and was always well prepared (carrying 6 bags of materials for us to go through, climbing ladders, testing color temp in each room, prompt responses). Her services more than paid for itself as the lighting/electrical part of our renovation was so smooth. Her creative recommendations, even ones I wasn't 100% certain about, proved to be spot on as we are enjoying our lighting so much!

Excellent experience working with Staci Ruiz to install new lighting and update fixtures in our apartment. She is incredibly knowledgeable, creative, thoughtful, and straight forward. Told us exactly what to expect and met expectations. Worked within our budget, timeline, and was able to scale to our needs. Never felt pushed to do more than I was comfortable with. The results have been fantastic and transformed the space. She partners with an electrician who is also excellent, and took good care of our apartment during the installation process. I recommend her without hesitation, and will be using her again when we are ready for Phase 2.

We recommend Staci wholeheartedly. She redid our entire apartment lighting and we couldn't be happier. Backstory: We live in a garden apartment in Brooklyn with very few windows and low ceilings. What's more, the windows we do have are mostly blocked by surrounding buildings and trees. Our previous harsh living room / kitchen recessed lights perpetually bothered my eyes, and the lights in our bedrooms were woefully dim. After some internet searches, we hired Staci for an initial consultation to get a sense of what she could offer in terms of lighting options. We were immediately impressed by her deep knowledge of lighting options as well as her attentiveness to our desires and budget. After the initial visit, Staci sent various options to solve our lighting problems. I must say, she had an amazing ability to find beautiful, quality lights at our budget. Then, Staci brought us actual light fixtures with her go-to electrician to physically show us how various lights would look in our apartment -- overhead, sconces, ceiling fixtures, etc. Like, she literally showed up with tons of equipment so that we could actually experience the quality of the lights in-person before we committed. Staci listened to our desires and recommended options in line with our goals. We decided to move forward with her recommended lighting options and, again, couldn't be happier. We have new, dim-able, perfectly placed lighting and gorgeous fixtures. Everyone who has visited our apartment is enchanted by our new lights. More importantly, we have lighting that makes us genuinely happy. Staci was super responsive to all of our questions and concerns throughout the process. I usually don't bother to write reviews, but I feel compelled to spread the good word about Staci.

Staci helped to light up our NYC apartment.
Her work was very impactful. We ended up with a lighting set up quite a bit different from what we would have come up on our own, and what we ended up doing is SOO much better.
We also enjoyed working with her because she works very efficiently. I also appreciated her fee model - its a strict hourly rate (worth every penny) so you don't have to worry that she would be nudging you towards the most expensive lighting fixtures to earn some % commission, as is the case with so many other designers.
Fully recommend. Lighting is so important!

I recently moved to a beautiful apartment with terrible lighting in a classic midcentury NYC building. I was excited to decorate but overwhelmed by the challenge of figuring out the lighting.

Hi LIzzie! I remember our kick off meeting was Sunday, March 15, 2020.... we thought we'd see each other again in two weeks! I'm thrilled that you love all your new lighting.... Enjoy!
We had recently redecorated our apartment and needed new lighting to complement and enhance the decor. We were worried the job was too small for her, but she treated us like VIPs. She listened carefully to our vision and then made it all happen. She made many suggestions, introducing us to lighting concepts that were perfect for us. Just as one example, she pointed out that our artwork was poorly illuminated, and made some simple changes to our lighting that produced a magical effect. Staci works with an incredibly good electrician, and their coordination to get things done was seamless.
We had wandered through some lighting stores on our own and originally thought we would just do the job ourselves. But after seeing what a professional like Staci can do, we realize doing it on our own would have been a terrible mistake. We are thrilled with what Staci has done for us!

About 6 months ago the halogen art lighting system in our master bedroom suddenly stopped working. I initially thought the dimmer switch was the problem so I called our building’s go to electrician, one of the best in NYC. They determined that the dimmer was not the problem but could not actually offer a straightforward solution. There was much talk about replacing the very expensive system, rewiring, junction boxes opening ceilings and so forth. I then turned to the internet and contacted a lighting designer with pretty good reviews. His initial assessment sounded promising but ultimately he admitted he was baffled by our system and could not figure out a way forward. Back to the internet I went and I found Staci Ruiz. Her reviews were impressive but by this time I was a skeptic, to say the least! Staci visited our apartment and immediately diagnosed the problem and provided a simple straightforward solution. She arranged for her “A team” electrician to visit and confirm her diagnosis and solution. Staci and her electrician both expressed complete confidence that my problem would be solved and I would have a beautiful new LED art light system. I remained a skeptic. Long story short, we now have an absolutely perfect system, just the right “temperature” to highlight the art and perfectly light the room. I absolutely, positively recommend Staci for any and all lighting design issues anyone could have. She’s a delight to work with and a true professional.

I am a NY-based interior designer and began working with Staci Ruiz in 2019 and continue to involve her in nearly all of my projects, especially those that involve a renovation. Architectural lighting is such a specialized area of expertise, and in the past 10 years, the product offering seems to be ever-changing. It's extremely challenging for any designer or architect to keep up with the latest products.
Staci knows her product offering inside and out and only specs fixtures that are quality. The last thing you'd want is to have a client call after the project wraps up and learn that a fixture failed!
She brings a fresh perspective to each new project and offers creative solutions. In New York, I feel each apartment has its constraints. Low concrete slab ceiling in a post-war building? Large open floor loft with little natural light in the center? She works around these issues seamlessly.
She gets clients excited about lighting with her product demos. She works efficiently with her time and collaborates with the team involved (designer, architect, contractor, electricians). And time and time again has proven resourceful to work within any budgetary constraints.
I can honestly say that my projects look and feel better at the end because of Staci. Designers - get her involved in your next project!

Staci did a wonderful job on our project. Fifteen years after renovating our apartment, my wife and I decided it was time to fix the poor lighting we'd selected during the renovation. Our lighting situation had been bad but tolerable before COVID but was unsustainable with all of us working and doing school from home. Staci visited our apartment, bringing many many ideas, several sample fixtures, and a terrific electrician, and within days came up with a plan for lighting our main spaces. She worked with the electrician on planning and cost, and ensured the work was completed on schedule and beautifully (all, happily, while we were out of town). The difference in the apartment is amazing — it really looks terrific.
I recommend her without hesitation. Great great work.

Staci is phenomenal to work with. She has thorough knowledge of the diverse options in architectural lighting, especially in the most up-to-date LED space that we are all moving towards. She knows the vendors and understands what the lights can and cannot do. She is willing to educate, but not overwhelm. We asked her to help us update the lighting throughout our 1500 sq ft brownstone condo, and I'll admit we started the project thinking we would need to just install a ton of recessed lights. Staci gave us recommendations that were so much better, highlighting our artwork and library bookshelves and giving my office space some much needed light at just the right color temperature. She also worked with us through all issues to make sure install went well. I recommend Staci highly - I'm sure I can't say that enough!

Staci’s artistry, expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail is extraordinary. Perhaps even more important, her kindness and generosity of spirit make it a total and complete pleasure to work with her! I met Staci in 2003 when I moved into a large loft space in Chelsea with my husband, complete with memorably awful track lighting. Not only was the space itself going to be difficult to design lighting for, the job was complicated even more by the fact that I am visually impaired and need very specific lighting in order to comfortably navigate a space. In other words, we wanted it to look great and also work for my special needs. Staci was a breath of fresh air from the moment we met. She was confident she could design the perfect lighting, knew what fixtures would work, and translated our needs and anxiety into an amazing outcome! Throughout the years we have continued to work with Staci for any lighting needs. She did the lighting design for our outdoor patio space when we moved to an apartment on the UWS, and it is truly magical to be out there at night now. We believe she is a real artist at heart, and her inherent taste and style are one of a kind! There is no job too big or small, indoor or outdoor, that Staci can't bring to beautiful fruition! It's 17 years later from when we first met and we would recommend Staci enthusiastically! I am happy to speak to anyone thinking about working with Staci - do not miss out on the privilege and joy of working with her!

Staci helped transform our dark apartment into a happy, luminous home.

Thank you , Richard! Looking forward to working on the 'main event' The FOYER!
I can't recommend Staci enough. We sat for years in poorly-lit rooms. Staci came in and in three short visits a) recommended what we should do within our budget; b) brought in lighting fixtures so we could see what they really looked like, lit, before committing; and c) coordinated installation with exceptional electricians. She is a friendly, organized, cost-effective expert, who taught us that even the most difficult spaces can have wonderful lighting.
Most importantly, our apartment is beautiful -- the lighting adds so much both aesthetically and functionally. Hire her!

We feel that all we can do is repeat everyone else who has written a glowing review. Our experience with Staci was just about perfect & our living room/hallway lighting is now better than we ever imagined. Once we contacted her, we were able to arrange an in home consult within the next few days. The cost of this was minimal, especially since she came fully prepared and (as she said she would) talked fast and gave specific information that we found extremely helpful & relevant. She immediately sized up our needs, explained the benefits of LED fixtures and sconces, worked with us to perfectly place them to highlight our rooms and then came back with the electrician to both have us look at options and to organize the ordering & installation. She ordered all fixtures and ensured their delivery on time. She then made herself available to the electricians whenever they had any questions about placement or ideas, and she was in constant contact with us to ensure that we felt supported and involved in the process. As a result, the work went smoothly and efficiently and was done within days, well before the upcoming holidays. Since we ensured that the electricians were coordinating with our painter, the rest of the job was finished in days and we are now living with new, well lit, lovely spaces. We thank her and couldn't recommend working with her more highly!

I found Staci Ruiz when I needed to replace the halogen "high hats" in my one-bedroom apartment. Thinking I could do this on my own, I went to Home Depot to simply pick out some LED lights. What I found was way too many types (colors, sizes, etc.) of LED lights to be comfortable that I would be able to select the right lighting on my own. In comes a genius -- STACI! She knew all the latest manufacturers, sizes, colors, temperatures to transform my nice one-bedroom into a Architectural Digest masterpiece. She helped me with indirect light and accent lighting for art, which transformed my apartment into something very special. In addition to her amazing eye for what works in a given space and command of how lighting can change and affect the mood of a space, she is cost conscious and has a no B.S. style that makes you feel like you are getting every bit of value for every dollar you spend on her services. Her coordination with the electricians is seamless. I will never install another light without her advice!

It was my pleasure to work with Staci on the Grand Beekman Condominium Lobby.
She is a very creative and talented lighting designer. She is extremely knowledgeable and gave us many innovative options to consider for the project. She provided us with samples of the fixtures to choose from so that we could understand exactly how the lighting would look.
Staci was always easily available to answer any questions we had.
The new lighting in our lobby looks beautiful and has received many compliments.

We loved working with Staci, and really appreciated her help with the design and installation of a lighting strategy for 2 rooms of our brownstone. She has a very clear process, that provides a focused path for getting from A to B. She brings terrific insight into lighting solutions and fixtures that meet your style, but also appreciates the importance of considering options. If needed, she has the relationships with contractors who can complete quality installation without breaking the bank. Finally, we valued her assistance and candor as we sought to prioritize across projects in order to deliver the maximum impact with the budget we had available. I'd work with Staci again in a heartbeat, and strongly recommend her.

Staci did a terrific job helping my wife and I select lighting fixtures for a recent renovation of our Brooklyn townhouse. She spent time early in the process listening to us to get an understanding of what we were looking for, and from there showed us a number of great design options.

We just completed a unique, modern new construction project with Staci in Northwest Dutchess County and the results speak for themselves. Staci’s genuine knack for aesthetic and unrivaled fixture expertise paired well on this project. With a home management system in play, critical integration components were required of each fixture which presented its own problems. Being able to package and present a full array of light fixtures that suited both the architectural aspect of the home, and the mechanical aspect was no easy task, Staci executed this process with ease! From power types, to candle power and even proper angling of moveable fixtures for future artwork, Staci was invaluable in guiding our client, electricians and installers throughout the construction process. We recommend her as often as we can and look forward to a new journey with her soon!

We were very lucky to find Staci and work with her. She is a true expert in lighting. We never would have been able to understand all the latest lighting technologies and the full range of options without her. She guided us through all our lighting decisions, helped us find the perfect fixtures and oversaw that everything was executed properly, coordinating between us, our contractor and the electrician on the job. Staci was incredibly responsive when we needed to move quickly on initial setup decisions, and then very patient when we took some time to make a couple final decisions on fixtures. We highly recommend Staci!

I cannot say enough great things about Staci, she is absolutely amazing. I contacted her and had a tight timeframe to get my lighting plan done for our home renovation, and she was able to turn everything over to me within days. She purchased all the lights for us and at a incredible price! I highly recommend Staci for all your lighting needs!

If you are looking for a very knowledgeable fast talking, fast moving lighting designer, Staci would probably be a good fit. But be aware that she has her rules, and if you’re unable to follow them, game over. Not a great way to do business.
I had a consult with Staci and was impressed. For the next step, Staci required the presence of the head electrician. The general contractor’s electrical sub refused. When I called Staci to try to work out a solution, e.g. I write up the installation specs, which I have done, I was told “I have my method, I have used it for 30 years, etc.” No empathy, no compromise, no attempt to find a solution.
I then asked Staci if she could recommend another lighting designer, since they are difficult to find for small projects. She gave me the name of a long established, well known store, which I had been to and whose service and reviews are uniformly awful. I was stunned, Staci then started to talk about issues with LEDs - and I hung up. I know how tricky lighting is, which is why I’m hiring someone.
(The electrician, realizing that her refusal to do a site visit was costing her the job called Staci and lied to her about my site visit request.. She also lied to me about what I had said! I told the GC that I wanted the electrician off the project.)
I don’t fault Staci for thinking this is aggravation she doesn’t need. I fault her for her rigidity, her unwillingness to try to find solutions - and for referring me to a bad vendor.

Staci has impeccable taste and was so easy to work with. She spent a lot of time at our house getting to know our space and made excellent suggestions. She is not only an expert about design but also about the technical aspects of lighting. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a
very artistic and expert designer.

I have run the operations of Modulightor, Inc., a boutique lighting manufacturer in Midtown Manhattan for the last 8 years. Our business works with many of the best designers and architects in the country and in the world. I have worked with Staci on a weekly, if not daily basis for the entirety of that time. There is not another professional in the lighting industry that I have met with more knowledge, tenacity, or sheer aesthetic insight than Staci. She knows every product, for every situation, and finishes projects before you knew she even started. I haven't had a single issue with Staci in the entire 8 years that I have known her and we have worked on hundreds of projects together. She's one of the best clients for us, and the best designers for others, because she knows what her clients want, how manufacturing and construction work, and makes enormous jobs seem effortless. Staci solves problems that others don't even know how to assess and she creates art where once there was only raw architecture. I've seen some of the most elaborate and expensive residential and commercial construction projects in the city and I would recommend, resoundingly, for Staci to handle all of the lighting. I can't lay enough praise upon Staci. During my time in the lighting industry she is the greatest client I've had and I have unending respect and admiration for her as a designer, businessperson, and friend.

In my experience, it's very rare to find a design professional who not only possesses DEEP industry expertise and exquisite taste, but is also very responsive, crazy efficient, highly organized and genuinely focused on meeting the needs of the customer. Staci Ruiz is such a unicorn. She and her awesome electrician sidekick Danny W and his team worked their lighting wizardry on my condo- finding the perfect solution for every problem and suggesting solutions to problems I didn't realize I had. Not only is my apartment now blissfully illuminated so that I can read where previously I couldn't, the fixtures chosen are tasteful and fit with the vibe of the space and the light emitted in such a way as to bathe the apartment in a beautiful glow. I could wax on, but suffice it to say, you simply can't go wrong if you hire Staci to illuminate your space and teach you how lighting can transform your home. I thank the Houzz community for recommending her (I had no idea where I would find such a person) and I add my 5 stars enthusiastically to all those that preceded mine.

Staci Ruiz efficiently and dramatically enhanced the lighting in five different areas of my apartment. She listened carefully to my objectives, posed the essential questions, and then offered a tightly edited choice of beautiful lighting options. I was pleasantly taken aback by how quickly she helped me select what has proven to be the right lighting fixtures for my apartment. Staci works with an excellent electrician, too. It's been a few months but everyday I literally smile when I see how much the lighting has improved the overall look of my apartment as well as the appearance of the artwork. I can--and do--highly recommend Staci Ruiz to my friends.

Staci responded quickly to my initial request and delivered her services in a timely manner as well! She recommended lighting fixtures for an interior office that did not receive direct sunlight and transformed the space from, what was basically a cave to a gorgeously lit room that inspires our marketing team. She was easy to work with and provided our electrician with uncomplicated instructions which allowed the installation to go very smoothly.

We recently purchased a new home and realized that lighting would be critical in our new space. We didn't have a general contractor so we looked online and were so fortunate to find Staci. She was absolutely fantastic and had a real vision for our space. That said, she took the time and effort to show us an array of options and allowed us to ultimately select things that were to our taste.
In addition, she works with a great electrician who really executed the job to perfection. We've been in our new home for a couple of months and couldn't be happier. The lighting really made all the difference. Worth every penny!

I've worked with Staci on several high-end residential projects. She's someone I know I can always rely on for unique solutions and a timely delivery. She's incredibly accommodating and is very knowledgeable on current trends. One of her biggest assets is that she takes the lead on teaching electricians, contractors and AV consultants how to install the products we specify, to achieve the design we're looking for. If there is an issue, they'll go to Staci and she can walk them through to a solution. As a designer working for an architecture firm, she makes our lives easy. I would highly recommend her!

Staci is extremely knowledgeable; she chose lighting that is not only functional but beautiful!! We also worked with the electrician she recommended which really made the process painless. Staci and Danny worked closely on all the details to make sure that everything was perfect. I highly recommend Staci.

Staci did an incredible job designing, planning and executing the lighting project for our rented 1800 sq ft Tribeca loft. We had almost no apartment lighting (and 11ft ceilings) and the final project has completely transformed the space. Her design and partnership were tremendous.
As we partnered with the the landlord to fund the project, Staci did an amazing job in maximizing the full apartment lighting within a specified budget. Her electrical partner, Danny, was equally qualified, and as a team, they ensured a well executed project.
I would highly recommend Staci and will use her again myself in future homes!

Staci worked with my wife and I to upgrade the entire lighting system in our 3 bedroom condo on the Upper West Side. We have both built and remodeled homes in the past, so this was not our first rodeo (hence hiring a professional like Staci).
The process start to finish was outstanding. She assessed the lighting needs of each room and provided choices and recommendations for each space. The pieces we ended up going with were perfect for the lighting requirements the space and our design sensibilities. She recommended a LED art lighting system for a painting we had not even taken delivery of and even that turned out better than we could have hoped for. And, as an added bonus, the electrician and color consultant she recommended were all of a similar high caliber. We could not be happier with the work or recommend Staci more highly.

I knew absolutely nothing about lighting before working with Staci. The only thing I knew was that it was going to be an exceptionally expensive mistake if I decided I knew best when it came to lighting an entire apartment. Staci was simply the best. She was efficient, kind, and listened. She works with an incredible electrician (Danny) who made the process easy. One of the best, if not the single best investment we made in our apartment! I couldn't be happier. Her cost was especially reasonable and only charged me by the hour for consultation! A true find.

Staci did an outstanding job in the design of the lighting scheme for our newly constructed 1700 sq ft NYC condo with 11 1/2' ceilings. Upon our initial meeting, Staci's energy and enthusiasm were contagious. We never imagined having such a wonderful experience with lighting! Staci articulated her ideas/concepts, brought us to lighting showrooms, selected beautiful fixtures and provided an expert electrical team to complete the installation. The entire job was executed expediently and perfectly. Not a single detail was overlooked. I highly recommend Staci to anyone who has the need for a lighting designer. Staci is the BEST!

From the moment I first contacted Staci, the ball was rolling – she came to my store (which was woefully in need of a lighting revamp) within the week, armed with an array of spotlight samples that perfectly reflected what we'd discussed in our first call.
She then introduced me to a great team of electricians, who not only completed all of the work quickly and skilfully, but with a very friendly, cheerful manner.
I couldn't recommend Staci or her team more highly – she came up with ideas that I wouldn't otherwise have thought of, and checked in regularly to make sure that everything was going smoothly. A really great experience all round.

I am a tough grader, so four stars really means very good job. Staci had three separate challenges in lighting my apartment: 11 ft ceilings, the interplay of interior space lighting and floor to ceiling Windows, and then my desire to create an Art Wall installation for my rock and roll posters. She was able to show exactly how her solutions would work, before the dollars got spent, and I am very pleased with the results.

How far down should the chandelier be? How many watts do I need here? Is that a good quality supplier? How do I get "natural" light into this dark space? What do I need? What do I do?
All these are actual questions I had.
Just leave it to Staci. Best bang for the buck. She is super efficient and totally spot-on (pun intended but still...). You can fret over it forever or you can just get Staci. Just put yourself in her hands. Super service with tons of experience.

Staci was a pleasure to work with on a kitchen and bath lighting project that presented numerous challenges. After a single consultation, she came up with four possible solutions, any of which would have done the job adequately but one of which I thought was exceptionally creative, though less conventional and perhaps riskier. I crossed my fingers and went with that one. And I'm glad I did -- the resulting lighting is efficient, flexible and quite beautiful. Moreover, it met my requirements for a minimum of disruption to walls and ceilings, since this is a long-term rental apartment. Staci made this a low-stress, no-drama project. She ordered the components and booked the excellent electrician, who did a clean, quick problem-free installation. I look forward to posting pictures once the room is painted.

I found Staci online and, based on looking at her prevous work and online reviews, decided to work with her on my lighting project. I live in a 1000 sq ft open loft and wanted an upgrade to my decade-old lighting - a mix of track lighting and a hodge-podge of pendant area lighting. My overall goal was less intrusive lighting with well-chosen design elements that complemented the space. Working with Staci on the design and fixture choices was a pleasure. I like being quite involved in the design process including choices of fixtures and Staci was both flexible in her approach and also presented me with choices that I never would have found or considered on my own. I also have nothing but good things to say about her electrician Danny. I've had lot's of very mixed experiences working with contracters and Danny and his team definitely are at the top of the quality continuuum. There was quite a bit of breaking through walls and celings before installing the new fixtures, and Danny was senstive to my living in the apartment during the process. He was very committed to making sure I was satisfied with everything and even came back after the final installation to fine-tune the electrical set up. All-in-all, a great experience and I'd highly recommmend both Staci and Danny if you're looking to upgrade your lighting design.

Staci was extremely professional, knowledgable and efficient. She came in on a project when the floorplan was already done, and recommended wonderful lighting solutions. We live in 1960s post war building with low ceilings and we can't drill into the ceiling to put new lights in. Hence the challenge was to suggest lighting solutions that would be wall based, yet would still provide excellent light. Staci was incredible in suggesting solutions that work really well for us.

My wife and I undertook a renovation of our kitchen and family room. We worked with the kitchen designer on the layout and cabinets and an interior decorator on the rug and fabric colors. While it is easy to find decorators and kitchen cabinets it is hard to find competent people who know about lighting. Staci is one of them. In simple terms, she knows her stuff and has creative ideas as to how a room should be lit. Without her we really would have been at a loss and the room would not have turned out the way it did. She spent time at our apartment reviewing the options and even brought some sample lights which she placed in position so we could get an idea of how it would look. My wife spent a few hours with her at various lighting stores to review fixtures. I would certainly recommend her for anyone who needs a lighting consultant.

Staci was a godsend. She jumped right in towards the tail end of my gut renovation (too bad I didn't hear about her sooner) and saved the day with her expert lighting recommendations. She is professional, direct/no-nonsense as well as warm, friendly and goes the extra mile. She is someone who puts her heart and soul into whatever project she is involved with--big or small-- and pays attention to the details. She advised relocating several lighting fixtures which I already bought which ended up being the right thing to do and made all the difference between just ok and amazing, and made great recommendations for other rooms in the apt. At the end of the renovation, every lighting fixture in my apt is gorgeous, functional and makes me wonder how anyone does a renovation or lighting project without Staci being involved.

We were in complete dark (literally) with choosing our lighting for our complete renovation project. Staci's knowledge of architecture and vast expertise with lighting systems made the process extremely easy for us. Since she had already come in with a recommendation from another architect friend of ours we gave Staci total reign on her design process. We are thrilled with the outcome. The lighting has had a huge difference in the way our renovation turned out. We haven't finished decorating our apartment yet, but with the new lighting it feels half decorated already.

Just listen to Staci. She's professional, smart, efficient and right. She will know what lights will work for you, and her cost is more than covered by the discounts she shares on the lighting. She was never late, could speak with the electrician about installation and switches, and advised on height and centering. She was clear and patient and didn't pull punches. She always gave her opinion but if you don't go with it, she isn't miffed. But just go with it. She is thinking of everything, not just style and color, but how much light you need in a room at different times of day, the switches, and when a light fixture should disappear or become a focal points. We are thrilled. Our apartment looks bigger, and is more enjoyable now. Our new kitchen looks even better with the lighting. I would have never known these lights existed and they are perfect. We were completely clueless and are so happy with the outcome.

For ten years we lived with bland, generic lighting in our apartment, mostly because I had no idea where or how to get started with replacing it. Not to mention that there are about a billion lighting choices out there. Calling Staci was the best decision I could have made. She called back right away and came to take a look at my space within the week. She got a sense for our needs and taste and then sent me a pared down list of options for each spot. She had a very good sense of space and knew the right sizes to order. She also had a perfect solution for a difficult spot. She then took care of ordering all of the lighting for me, staying on top of a backordered item and helping to find a couple of replacement parts that arrived missing or broken (no fault of hers). The electrician she works with, Danny, was superb and completed the job efficiently and professionally. Considering how great the apartment looks now, Staci's modest fee was well worth it. Thanks, Staci!

Staci gave me (and others I've known who have used her) her complete attention - I never felt that I was being rushed. She understands lighting - optimum placement, how shadows fall, and how much light any given room needs. She made suggestions that were within my price range, and got me very good deals on the fixtures. I've used her services twice, for 2 different projects, and will call upon her as my renovations proceed.

Staci Ruiz did a great job with the lighting in our gut renovation of a Manhattan co-op. After months of dealing with board approvals, mechanical designs and structural engineers, lighting design completely slipped our minds until the electrician started asking questions about rough-in details. Our architect recommended Staci, who showed up quickly, put a plan together, and made great recommendations for fixture placement and selection. She made numerous site visits to ensure everything went as planned and was always fast to reply to e-mails and phone calls, which really helped to keep things on schedule. Not only did our renovation continue without delay, but we couldn't be happier with the finished product.

We hired Staci to help us with our lighting options after purchasing a new condo apartment in NYC. She has a great eye and knows exactly what type of lighting will not only be aesthetically pleasing but will also deliver the requisite amount of light for the space. It's very easy to peruse stores and love a particular lamp but it doesn't mean that it will function well in your space. Staci took us through all the options and gave us multiple choices. She then executed the lighting which for us meant a few weeks of construction work. The result is wonderful - we are thrilled and highly recommend her work.

She was able to quickly plan out some major improvements to our Battery Park City apartment and helped to organize both the installation and the purchasing. Very impressed and couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Staci is a ‘spot-on’ specifier – knows the marketplace like nobody else; she’s constantly introducing me to other lighting companies’ work.
Whether you’re a novice end-user, an ‘old pro’ interior designer / architect, or one of the vendors or tradesmen who make it all happen, Staci builds relationships and gets the job done flawlessly.
She is always on top of her game: thoughtful and aware of all the parameters that can affect a successful design outcome – and they always are with her. She has many thrilled and repeat customers for a reason. She’s able to teach and learn at the same time. She’s helped our company build our brand and we’ve watched her grow into one of the absolute premier lighting professionals in New York City. It’s incredible to have such amazing experience and knowledge.
You cannot go wrong by collaborating with her. I always tell people when referring her - she may not specify MODULIGHTOR on your particular project; she may have other ideas for you - but they’ll be the RIGHT ONES. That’s what it’s all about.

As a designer, I am responsible for many aspects of a project. One of the most challenging can be lighting. Lighting can be tricky and take a lot of time to get it perfect, but not for Staci! Whenever possible I bring her into my projects. Staci does not waste a minute, you give her a situation, she gives you a solution! She has is full of ideas and options; in her head and on her ipad. She brings alot to the table.
I highly recommend Staci! I do not think there is a lighting problem she can not solve.

Staci is a highly knowledgeable, creative and resourceful lighting designer. Her natural instinct mixed with her technical knowledge can completely improve and transform a room with lighting alone. As an interior designer, working with her on a project is always a pleasure and she is always working hard to make the process easy for her clients. She also gets the best prices from her many vendors.

Staci is amazing. I moved into a great prewar rental on the Upper West Side but the living room did not have an overhead light. I needed help! Staci came to the rescue. She came for a consultation and immediately came up with some solutions. Within an hour, we not only had a solution for the living room, but for every room in the apartment. She picked things within my pricepoint and also understood that we could not have electrical work done due to the apartment being a rental. I could not be happier with the fixtures she chose and the place looks amazing. Staci is worth every penny and works magic.

Staci has built her lighting consultancy business based on her expert skills and friendly personality, and we at Artemide are proud to be one of her vendor collaborators. Staci makes the most use of our New York showroom by bringing her clients to see the fixtures. Here she can best show and discuss how the fixtures solve the client’s lighting needs. The end results of Staci’s creative process is evident in her photos on Houzz. Each project is unique in its problem solving and striking in its design.

We brought Staci in during a gut remodel of our new apartment. We told her about our desires to avoid dropping the ceiling but also to add art lighting. She found the perfect solution for every location in the apartment. She also worked with the AV contractor who was installing lutron controls to enable those to work with new LED lighting technology. And when any problems arose with a fixture, she had them immediately rectified at no cost to us. She is fantastic. We whole-heartedly recommend Staci.

Staci solved my lighting problems efficiently, brilliantly, beautifully, economically. She provided choices I never would have found or considered and she was dead right in every room. Would that I had not wasted infinite hours with designers who really did not know lighting or my own foraging and reviewing. Honestly, I cannot say enough about her, and I can be a tough critic. She is honest and efficient and often suggests very reasonably priced (yet beautiful) lighting fixtures. She has done multiple projects for me over the years. Now that I know her I would never light a room without her input.

We have worked with Staci Ruiz for many years as a lighting fixture supplier. Staci has always expected and received the highest quality from us for her clients. We have customized many fixtures to her specifications and they have become so popular we have a series of pendants nicknamed "Staci".
Staci also requests the best pricing from us - she always goes to bat for her clients and with her professional understanding she gets the best from us.
I highly recommend Staci whenever I am asked for a Lighting Professional. When my husband and I were renovating our home we went to Staci for her recommendations. It cost us an expensive lunch but we knew that we had gotten the better part of the deal.

Our experience working with Staci Ruiz has been the best collaboration we have had with a design professional. We have worked with Staci on two projects and in both cases Staci recommended creative and beautiful solutions that also provided us with the functionality we desired and met the practical limitations of the space. Staci observed our personal style and recommended a range of options. She clearly expressed her preferences and rationale, but was flexible and avoided getting attached to a single vision. She worked with us iteratively until we were completely on board. In addition to her skill and experience as a designer, Staci Ruiz manages her business well--she is transparent about how she works and charges for her services, she is prepared and arrives on time for meetings, she follows up promptly, she makes sure materials arrive when they are needed and works well with all contractors. We would definitely work with her again.

l love unobtrusive (well, unobtrusive most of the time) great quality lighting and on my own it is: (a) impossible to find, (b) unreliable, (c) unsuitable, (d) common/ordinary boring.
Frustrating!
But not so with Staci Ruiz. She looked around my new apartment and photos of my former home, she listened carefully to me and to my decorator and solved each lighting challenge for my home.
What a terrific resource she is.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Stacy Ruiz is a professional in every sense of the word. I engaged her services for a lighting renovation project in my duplex Manhattan apartment.
She demonstrated a thorough understanding of lighting and had an amazing ability to communicate her ideas throughout the project. I also very impressed by her prompt responsiveness to all requests and inquiries.
She is a "take-charge" person, totally responsible for her work, worked extraordinary well with the electric contractor, and responsibly met deadlines.
In short, it is without hesitation that I give her the highest recommendation, I am confident that her future clients will feel exactly the same.

Staci is a joy to work with - creative, knowledgeable, always available and helpful. We recommend you use her early in the planning process to get the benefit of her extensive contacts and ideas. Staci is up on all of the new lighting technology, which was really useful for our project.

Staci Ruiz is a superbly creative lighting designer who has helped me multiple times. Whether designing one room or many, Staci can look at a wall/ceiling and intuitively know how many lights are required and where they should be placed. She has always listened to me so that with her collaboration, I have had a range of possibilities in the types of fixtures selected. I highly recommend Staci Ruiz as a lighting designer.

Staci figured out exactly what we wanted and delivered wonderfully.
We chose to use Staci as a consultant for our apartment built in 1912. The apartment can be very dark and we needed to be sure that the lighting was capable of eliminating the living in a cave feel. Staci's excellent advice has permitted us to brighten up the rooms with absolutely gorgeous fixtures for a price we would not have been able to get on our own.
Staci accompanied us on several excusions to look at lighting fixtures and she was able to understand our taste and needs.
I highly recommend Staci and I feel that what we paid for her advice and the fixtures was worth every cent.

Staci Ruiz is a must have for any lighting work. She is a pleasure to work, very knowledgeable and has terrific ideas. Staci came to our home immediately upon contact and instantly put us at ease. She listened to our needs/budget and worked directly with our planner and contractor to develop a well thought out plan and ensure that the installation went smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with the lighting in our kitchen. She came up with the perfect design and products for both overhead and under cabinet lighting. We strongly recommend her for any renovation/remodeling job. While any remodeling job has its challenges, being able to take a major aspect like lighting off our list and know that it’s in the right hands with Staci on the job was a huge relief.

She is very helpful in creating cost effective approriate solutons from the High end design to the economical developement apartment. She follows up and helps expedite problems, and or deliveries, and has a very good artistic approch to her suggestions. We have been working with Satci for close to 15 years.

Staci Ruiz was a fabulous lighting consultant - exactly what i needed! I knew I needed lighting in my apartment but besides that i knew nothing! Staci had great ideas and "held my hand" through the whole process. She understood and stuck to my budget and was extremely responsive throughout. I now have a beautiful and well-lit apartment and I will definitely call Staci when i need to do my next lighiing project. I highly recommend her!

There is much to say about Staci, and all of it is positive. She is knowledgeable, conscientious and has excellent taste. We were collaborating on a space that, while beautiful, presented some structural challenges, and Staci rose to the occasion, choosing fixtures that added depth, warmth and personality to an otherwise cool, sterile environment.
Additionally, Staci is committed to client comfort. She consistently makes herself available when it comes to addressing the needs of her clients (and fellow contractors-- I'm guilty of sending late night panic e-mails, to which she responded with aplomb).
In short, Staci is the consummate professional, and I'm fortunate to have learned much by observing her in action. If my good fortune continues, we'll be working together again in the near future.

I have used Staci for both residential and commercial projects, and she is excellent at figuring out just what is needed within a reasonable budget. Much better than if I tried by myself; I have had several unsolicited compliments on our lighting designs...something a tenant or buyer sees first thing.
