Jonathan Hille, Founder & Principal Designer

Jonathan Hille

Jonathan Hille brings more than two decades of artistry, innovation, and trade leadership to the exterior lighting industry. Classically trained as a landscape architect, Jonathan discovered early in his collegiate studies that his further passion lived at the intersection of technology and the transformative power of lighting design. While peers focused on landscape architectural details such as planting specifications and grading plans, Jonathan was captivated by how proper lighting shaped the living space, elevated architecture, and created elegant emotion. Jonathan’s passion for exterior lighting quickly evolved into a blessed work path.

In his early professional career Jonathan held a lead sales management role at FX Luminaire, where his efforts directly expanded trade brand awareness throughout the southwest region. Shortly thereafter, and during the business’s early formation years, Jonathan provided pivotal creative management and leadership roles at one of the now most respected landscape construction companies in the US.

In 1999, applying his expertise and passion to elevate the lighting standards of outdoor environments across residential and commercial projects alike, Jonathan developed and designed a premier landscape lighting manufacturing company. Atom Lighting Inc. quickly earned national industry attention for its engineering excellence and design-forward solutions. Fourteen years later, the company’s various product design assets led to an acquisition by The Toro Company Inc.

In 2003, Jonathan founded BEAM Luxury Lighting – a design development brand rooted in craftsmanship, innovation, and a dedication to timeless outdoor illumination. Today, his vision continues to guide the company as it delivers custom lighting experiences that blend technology, durability, and stunning design effects. Jonathan’s lifelong professional mission is simple: exceptional lighting doesn’t just illuminate a space—it transforms it.
