We’re Lumin, a web design, development and digital strategy business based in Brighton, UK, operating globally.
We help outdoor, wellness and sustainable brands with their online presence using authentic web design, low-carbon web development, and online strategy.
We’re Luminaries too
luminary /’lu:m|n(ə)ri/
- a celestial light-giving body, especially the sun or moon
- a body or object that gives off light
Our mission is to be your moon. To reflect your light with a purpose-driven website and strategy so you can shine even brighter.
Hi, I’m Lucian
I founded Lumin because I was tired of seeing outdoor, wellness and sustainable businesses waste their hard-earned money on websites that weren’t designed to support their goals.
It’s simple, really:
If you understand your business goals, you can create a marketing strategy that helps you achieve them.
And if you understand your marketing strategy, you can create a website that sits at the centre of it, earning the trust, loyalty, and business of your prospects.
At Lumin, we understand this hierarchy.
That’s why we take a strategy-first approach to web design and development. And why we produce websites that have an actual reason for existing — beyond ticking the “I have a website box.”
Our websites anchor and reinforce your marketing, authentically reflect your brand, build trust, convert browsers into buyers, and save you time.
With us, your site will be both a tireless sales machine and a bold statement about you. One you’re confident to share. Excited to share.
As the primary website strategist, designer, and developer at Lumin, I’ll be your main port of call. With that in mind, here are some things to know about me:
- I’ve been a website “unicorn” since 2020 — strategising, designing, and building websites for ambitious businesses that range in size from owner-operated micro-businesses to global enterprises.
- I have a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, so identifying and solving problems and optimising systems is kinda my thing. You’ll see this come to life in the strategy work I do for you.
- I've always had a personal passion and love for the outdoors and natural wellness/health practices. Not to mention my lifelong desire to do good things for our planet. Basically, I understand your industry.
- Celebrating the triumphs of others has always lit me up. For my family, my friends, my colleagues, and you, I’m the epitome of a hype man: right there in the front row, wearing a shirt with your name on it, cheering you on long after the curtains close and everyone goes home.

The Lumin Pack
But Lumin is bigger than me.
I might be a website unicorn, but I can’t — and don’t try to — do everything.
That’s where the Lumin Pack comes in.
The Pack is a collective of talented digital marketers and business consultants I trust. From graphic designers to copywriters to business coaches and beyond.
It allows Lumin to remain agile like the wolf, to adapt. We’re here to solve your problems and help you achieve your goals, not just build you a fast, beautiful website.
Whatever you need to get you where you want to go, the Pack provides.
Our principles, your principles
These aren't just "values". These truly mean something to us. They’re the lights that guide us and our decisions. Hopefully, they guide you too.
-
1. Compassion to our planet
We stand for the planet, nature, the outdoors, animals. Those who don’t have the same voice as we do. We need to refocus our priorities on these beautiful, finite things that can’t survive in a society where we dominate the room. They are all equal shareholders in our planet and everything we do. Business can be a vehicle for change.
-
2. Knowledge, education and support
We stand for free knowledge, education and support that people truly need and want. Not just the status quo education. Real life, real-world education and support. This can help those less fortunate than us in a practical way. People who don’t know the things we do. Share your wisdom. Queue principle 3.
-
3. Autonomy and control
We stand for giving people autonomy through successful small and medium businesses. Taking power away from faceless big corporations and organisations who get to make decisions for us. We want to foster a society where you can start that business and pursue the thing you love; a world where ordinary people have control and create a fair society, together.
-
4. Styles and solutions with flair
We stand for personality, creativity and flair when it comes to both style and solutions. Websites that look like you: unique. Designs that find beauty in contrast. Websites that work for you. Websites that fit the way you work and the things you need you like a glove. We believe in this creativity for both problem-solving and design.
-
5. Energy into everything
We stand for happiness, joy and optimism. There are hard things we’ll all have to do in life. In our personal lives, in our businesses, and in our planet and society. We don’t want doom and gloom. We believe in lifting the spirits of those who are down, inflating those who are up, and putting smiles on faces during tough times.
