Jason Ahn is a London-based lighting designer with theatre experience across from fringe to West End. He studied theatre at Seoul Institute of the Arts and Light in Performance MA at Rose Bruford College, and began his career with a placement on the Rolling Stones Sixty Tour at Woodroffe Bassett Design.

 

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. This research is explored in his book Neuroaesthetic Stage Lighting Design: What Makes Good Light, published by Routledge in 2025. He shares thoughts about light and neuroaesthetics with professionals and public through talks and writing.
