Lighting design is a combination of art and science. Some designers approach it more from one direction that the other. On those admittedly rare occasions when I do design work, I approach it more from the science side than the art. I do this because with my very ordered and methodical way of thinking, I simply understand the science better than I do the art. Once I've got the mechanics of the design down, then I start getting creative.

You should know better than anybody what your strengths and weaknesses are. Make use of that knowledge to play to your strengths when working on your design.
