What Eos Lightmedia does

Eos Lightmedia operates a vertically integrated business model spanning design services, hardware procurement and integration, installation, programming, and post-build recurring maintenance under annual SLAs. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based design-build engagements (professional services plus hardware pass-through), supplemented by recurring maintenance contracts, custom software development, and special event services (e.g., Eerie Illusions at Burnaby Village Museum). The firm employs 100+ people across offices in Vancouver (HQ, 4,200+ sq ft with Interactive Lab), Orlando (5,400+ sq ft operations support), New York City, and Providence via its Abernathy Lighting Design studio. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales, augmented by referral partnerships with leading architecture and design firms such as Populous, Stantec, and Gensler. The company is led by CEO Shaun August, COO Trish Hann, CFO John Young, and founder/principal designer Douglas Welch, with a deep bench of directors covering engineering, integration, pre-construction, special projects, digital transformation, and strategy.
