Women in Architecture Committee Welcomes Noushin Jafri as the Newest Co-chair!
Noushin Jafari is an award winning, experienced designer and project manager in firms both in Europe and the United States.
Noushin was born and raised in Tehran, Iran and later went on to study architecture at École Spéciale d’Architecture de Paris (Paris, France). It was during these undergrad years that she developed her passion towards creating unique spaces while being inspired by great contemporary artists and architects. In 2006, Noushin entered the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris La Villette (Paris, France) to study architecture-Cinema.
Through all these years of school and later in practice, Noushin kept developing her passion towards social sciences and published several international papers on the intersections of sociology and urbanism.
In March 2015, Noushin Jafari won the bronze prize in urban design at the International A’ Design Academy in Milan, Italy. Later that same year, Noushin redefined her career path when she moved to New York City to work on retail design and commercial buildings. Since then, she has worked on several stores for Tiffany & Co. in the US and North Asia; design and project management for Tory Burch stores, Rothy’s on Bleecker Street in NYC; a few Burlington stores as well as other recognizable brands. Noushin finds retail design very dynamic and versatile and most compatible with her background in Architecture-Cinema.
In December of 2020, Noushin joined the AIA Brooklyn Women In Architecture Committee as a Co-Chair, where she intends on developing her all-time passion and purpose of empowering women in architecture and building a platform for current and future generations of women in this career to learn from each other’s experiences and mentor each other towards a more inclusive and diverse future in architecture.
In 2021, Noushin registered her design firm in Brooklyn, to bring together all her knowledge and experience in design through all these years and countries. The firm is focused on interiors, fixture and object design. Outside of her work, Noushin enjoys visiting art galleries, museums, drawing and painting. She had a couple of her works exhibited at New York Center for Architecture in benefit of nycobaNOMA in September 2020.
