3 MC Lighting & Design, founded by Mitch Murray and Chris Kluzek, is known for crafting immersive outdoor lighting environments that redefine how spaces are experienced after dark. Their design philosophy merges artistic vision with technical mastery — using light not only to illuminate, but to reveal form, enrich architecture, and bring the natural landscape to life in its most expressive state. Mitch continues to elevate industry standards through his mentorship and involvement with the International Landscape Lighting Institute (iLLi), bringing advanced design principles and global best practices into every project. Together, Mitch and Chris pair cutting-edge lighting technology with thoughtful fixture placement, guided by a deep understanding of how people move through and experience outdoor environments. Their work is recognized for its balance, subtlety, and strong sense of visual storytelling. You can find MC Lighting & Design's installations primarily throughout the state of Arizona — ranging from luxury residential estates to expansive HOA communities and commercial properties. Across every project, Mitch and Chris have built a reputation for craftsmanship, authenticity, and a passion for transforming nighttime spaces into refined, welcoming experiences that feel beautifully alive.
