In this first episode of In Light of It All, host Xander Cadisch sets the stage for a journey into the invisible forces that shape how we live, feel, and connect. But this isn’t a podcast just about lighting — it’s about everything that light touches.

From colour and texture to architecture and circadian rhythms, Xander explores how our built environments quietly influence our biology and emotions. Through personal reflection, scientific insight, and big questions, this episode invites you to see your home, office, and everyday spaces in a whole new light.

As we spend 90% of our lives indoors, are we truly designing spaces that support our wellbeing — or just boxes to exist in? Why do some rooms soothe us and others drain us? And what can nature teach us about building better places to live?

This episode is an open invitation to look deeper, stay curious, and rediscover the power of design — not as decoration, but as a tool for human thriving.
