£ƣżłĪƫƫŏżŲÿŧ £ƣżǿŧĪ & Design Philosophy

Driven by innovative design, I create spaces that blend creativity with strategic planning. From concept to execution, I prioritize clear communication and a collaborative process, ensuring each project is functional and impactful to the community. With expertise in Commercial, Hospitality, and High-End Residential design, I bring meticulous attention to detail, delivering spatial experiences that resonate with users. Dedicated to continuous learning, I am currently pursuing my MFA in Interior Design at New York School of Interior Design, building on my BFA in Interior Architecture from Endicott College. I seek opportunities to apply my expertise and passion for visionary design solutions that drive positive outcomes.

The Agora School of Sculpture School of Sculpture

Parti: Neoclassicism

A university school of sculpture is a dedicated space for cultivating skilled artisans and innovative thinkers who shape the future of art and design. More than a place to create physical works, it equips students with the knowledge and tools to address real-world challenges through their craft and apply it to product design, furniture design, and other practical applications. The school integrates sustainability, material consciousness, and social responsibility into every aspect of its curriculum, encouraging students to create art that has a positive impact on society and the environment.

Students learn through a diverse range of courses, from the classical tradition techniques like ceramics, mold-making, and casting to advanced practices in digital fabrication, public art, and sustainable design. State-of-the-art facilities include sculpture studios, kilns, and digital fabrication tools such as 3D printers and CNC machines. Collaborative spaces and critique rooms foster creativity, while outdoor areas and community spaces encourage engagement beyond the studio.

With an emphasis on blending hands-on practice with critical thinking, students are guided to develop a deep understanding of materials, processes, and the broader context of their work. They graduate as well-rounded professionals— artisans and ethical designers ready to shape not only objects but also ideas that improve the world.

The Agora School of Sculpture merges the heritage of NYC lofts with the timeless of Neoclassical Design. The open floor plan, iconic of both NYC lofts and ancient Greek architecture, fosters creativity, discourse, and a sense of artistic symbiosis. Light wooden details, reminiscent of classical design connects the modern space to its historical and philosophical roots.

Preserving the factory’s original structure, including its historic columns and capitals, the design bridges authenticity with artistry. Inspired by Platonic Idealism, the project explores the duality between the tangible and the transcendent. The neoclassical details embody the pursuit of ideal beauty. This reflects the Platonic idea that material forms aspire to a higher, perfect ideal, resonating with the essence of sculpture as an art form. Platonic philosophy creates a space of reflection and inspiration where materiality and idealism coexist, empowering artists to explore both the physical and conceptual forms.

Inspiration & Materials

Site 383 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10003 The site is located on Lafayette Street in the Noho neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, near key landmarks such as Cooper Union and the NYU campus. This area, known for its historical significance and vibrant arts culture, is a hub for creativity and academia. Noho blends historic architecture, with cobblestone streets and cast-iron buildings, alongside a thriving arts district, home to galleries, design studios, and a diverse creative community.

The nearby Soho district, known for its art galleries, boutiques, and historical significance, further enhances the appeal of the site as a center for arts education. The area is well connected to the larger city through various public transportation options, making it accessible to students, faculty, and the public.

Minimalism

The design preserves the factory’s original columns and capitals, honoring Noho’s industrial and artistic heritage.

Greater integration of the site’s narrative through architecture could enhance its authenticity and connection to its surroundings.

Sustainability is embedded in the curriculum but could also be reflected more boldly in the architecture. Renewable materials, energy-efficient systems, and visible sustainable features like green walls would further align the design with environmental responsibility.

The school’s location fosters interaction with Noho’s creative and academic hubs.

Expanding public-facing elements, like workshops, exhibitions, and outdoor installations, would strengthen its role as a cultural landmark and invite greater community participation.

The Platonic Idealism parti is tied to the school’s layout.

Features like rooms for critique or philosophical discussion would connect the physical space with its conceptual theme balancing idealism with practical application.

The design’s minimalist Neoclassical aesthetic fosters creativity and openness with zoning to support diverse activities. Functional yet elegant furnishings and thoughtful wayfinding can balance simplicity with practical usability.
