Hinson Design Group

Wayne Hinson came to our rescue after we purchased an "as is" townhouse in the Kalorama area of Washington DC. Wayne lives and breathes lighting, and we are so pleased with his design and follow up. Actually, the new lighting has pulled our 1915 home into the 21st century, and it is the best part of our extensive remodel. Thank you, Wayne!

I hired the Hinson Design Group to trouble shoot a lighting issue we had with a kitchen renovation project. We had almost given up hope before meeting Wayne. No one including the distributor of the lights nor the electrician were able to solve the issue which had been ongoing for two years. Wayne immediately figured out that some very simple steps had not been taken to solve the issue. I also had installed Leicht cabinets from Germany, and the rep who installed them was non responsive in fixing a problem with one of the lights. The Hinson group again came to the rescue, and was able to identify the issue in a timely manner. Wayne is extremely knowledgeable, and goes the extra distance to be sure everything is done right, and to the customer's satisfaction. His support staff went above and beyond to contact me initially, and the follow up was excellent. The Hinson group is most professional in my opinion, and I look forward to using them again in future projects that require a degree of creativity, good function, and design.

We hired Wayne to design the lighting and its automation for our new house. Wayne is extremely talented and professional. He creates full architectural plans and came up with many clever ideas. Wayne really has his finger on the pulse of his industry. The finished product is great and we've gotten many complements from our friends and guests. I would highly recommend Hinson Design Group for your project. We couldn't be happier!

We have used Hinson Design Group for years with great success and satisfaction. Wayne Hinson's creative lighting has transformed many spaces in our home, most recently our kitchen, master bath and bedroom. His meticulous planning and execution of the design gave us what we wanted - elegant lighting creating a warm and inviting environment. The wireless lighting control system he installed allows us to control the brightness/the ambiance, with the press of a button. It is very user friendly and has simplified our life. We continue to be extremely happy with the results in working with Hinson Design Group. Icing on the cake: Wayne is one of the nicest people you could ever imagine working with.. He is interesting, charming and funny.

Hinson Design is a fantastic company to work with! They have great ideas and really helped me understand how lighting makes all the difference in my space. They made my home look fabulous!

Wayne Hinson designed the lighting for my kitchen/dining renovation. I had never used a lighting designer before and wasn't convinced that it was necessary - until I saw the wonderful effect that he created. He made a fairly dark space appear bright as though it were filled with natural light and illuminated work areas very effectively. He diagnosed a problem that another contractor had created and had it fixed. Wayne is friendly and professional to work with.

Top notch firm...they provided complete lighting service including planning and installation of my condo in DC. Wayne is an artist with light and is up to date on state of the art lighting. In addition, he was generous to custom fit lighting I insisted on having and I relied on his expertise. In the end, I could not have done such a superb job without Wayne.

Wayne Hinson has provided state of the art lighting for our whole house, including our garden. He made our art collection come alive. He is a great fellow and is very respectful of our "ignorance" of technology, making every aspect of our house's lighting easy to control and operate. He is even going to put attractive grow lights in our conservatory for our orchid collection. He has a good sense of humor and is easy and fun to work with. Highly recommend!

It was a great pleasure working with Hinson Design Group. I originally only wanted to update 20-year-old ceiling lighting in one room, Hinson's design choices and meticulous installations literally transformed the look and experience of being in the room; I didn't know just how bad my lighting was until I got 'good' lighting. Confident in Mr.Hinson's knowledge and taste, he and I later went through my house to discuss any lighting ideas he might have. He did NOT suggest changing that much but the few small changes he discussed and later made greatly enhanced the newly lighted areas. Working with organized, dependable, timely and communicative professionals was as important to me as the expertise, apparent broad experience, good 'eyes' and taste the Hinson Design Group offered.

I have know Wayne HInson for 9 years: he serves as the lighting consultant to my home. Over the years he has been an outstanding consultant: thoughtful, professional, cost conscious, attentive to detail, collaborative and easy to work with. When we first moved in, HDG took stock of the current inventory and placement of fixtures and explained all of designs and styles to me; provided a written spread sheet inventory with all the model numbers and types of fixtures/bulbs around the house -- an extensive and highly specialized list; made suggestions for improvements in function and form that could either be done all at once or incrementally; he detailed all the steps involved with each segment of the work the owner (me) approved and then coordinated all the work easily with other consultants (carpentry, painting, decorating, etc.). In several cases, he designed or provided a small novel piece of hardware that technologically simplified the systems in the house and made a different in the management of the lighting. Over the years HDG has continued to service our property, always in a timely manner, with care and utmost professionalism. I highly recommend the services of Hinson Design Group.

Hinson Design Group did a wonderful job with our home in Washington DC. We did a complete remodel, and Hinson was with us from start to finish. Not only is the lighting design well done and well executed, but the 'human interface' was well considered in advance. All our lighting systems are integrated, so with the touch of a single button we can control an entire room or even the whole house. This can even be done remotely. No more running around to all the lamps and switches. We were very pleased with Hinson's work and would recommend them highly.
