Lyn Godley teaches Industrial Design studios and has developed a cross-disciplinary concentration in Lighting Design with a focus on Light as Experience.  She has spoken at both National and International conferences on topics of lighting design curriculum and the impact of light and art on health. She founded the Jefferson Center of Immersive Arts for Health, an cross disciplinary initiative between Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health, to investigate the impact of dynamic and interactive art on health.

In addition to her academics, she has been active in the fields of Art and Design since the early 1980’s. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with pieces in numerous museum and private collections. Her work at Lyn Godley Design Studio focuses on light as the primary medium. Her grounding in materiality, extended into electronics and circuitry, is further enriched through her research on the psychological and physiological effects that imagery, light and color have on the viewer. Her work is the result of ongoing studio practice together with science, provoking questions regarding how the merger of light and art might be used to speak to us, to mesmerize, to excite, to calm, and to heal.
