The forth High Table Dinner of S. H. Ho College in 2016-17 was held on 18 January. Mr. Teddy Lo, a distinguished artist, delivered a speech entitled "Shooting for the Stars – Sharing His Journey of Working in Variety of Local and International Lighting and Art Related Projects". In his 25-minute speech, Mr. Lo first recalled his growth and studies and then explained how technology and art lighted up his road. At last, he shared how to manage a business of art.

His work is dazzling and magnificent in various styles and patterns.

Mr. Lo obtained his BA degree in advertising and fine art in USA and Master's degree in lighting in Australia.

Apart from engaging in design project on culture and public space, Mr. Lo also decorates commercial buildings by light.

During his speech, Mr. Lo showed many photos featuring his ingenious designs. He encouraged S. H. Ho College students to aim high and shoot for the stars.
