Design Approach & Education

 

Hi there! My name is Natalie and I'm currently pursuing my BFA in Interior Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, NY.

What I Do

As a student, I have explored designing residential and commercial spaces that are functional, intentional, and flexible. In my senior year, I’ve developed a great passion for sustainable design and aspire to collaborate with designers, architects, and engineers who have extensive knowledge and resources to design eco-friendly spaces that benefit the end users while healing our damaged environment. My thesis design project, currently in progress, is a wellness center and marketplace intended to raise awareness about sustainability as well as mental and physical wellness through the goods and services they provide.

My approach to design is flexible and constantly evolving, but I will always value the experience of an interior and how it can leave an impact. As a designer of my generation, my goal is to have a positive influence on people and the environment that allows us to thrive.
