Podcast Description
In Light of It All is a podcast by Light Tribe, by Phos, hosted by Xander Cadisch - a curious mind exploring how the invisible forces around us shape our wellbeing. From light and texture to sound, space, and neuroscience, this show dives into the science and design of healthier human habitats. With 90% of our lives spent indoors, what can we learn from biology, technology, and biophilic design to rethink the way we live, work, and feel? If Google uses nature to boost performance, why not our own homes? This is a journey into the future of living well - in light of it all.

In this electrifying and refreshingly unfiltered episode, we’re joined by experiential light artist Frankie Boyle—a powerhouse of neurodivergent creativity, sensory intelligence, and fierce authenticity.
Frankie takes us on a vivid journey through how her brain processes the world—not just visually, but emotionally and intuitively—revealing what it’s like to see color as emotion, sense energy through light, and translate raw feeling into deeply immersive spatial art. Diagnosed with developmental language disorder and dyslexia at a young age, she shares how her challenges became the foundation for her superpowers: visual thinking, synesthetic creativity, and a profound connection to the emotional resonance of spaces.
Together, we unpack neurodiversity as a design strength, the need to rewire education, the overlooked intensity of artificial lighting, and why biophilic, sensory-aware environments aren’t a luxury—but a necessity for human wellbeing. Frankie’s story is a heartfelt and often hilarious reminder that our differences aren’t deficits; they’re doorways to deeper human connection.
This is not just a conversation about lighting—it’s a revelation about perception, presence, and the healing power of sensory design.
