Hi, I’m Nadia!
My interest in design was born at the intersections of art history + architecture. That feeling grew into passion and catapulted me from Virginia to the Bay Area over five years ago. My experience thus includes creative environments of many scales and practice areas including: law, tech, and municipal workplace and public libraries & community centers. In addition to crafting beautiful spaces, I am very passionate about utilizing design thinking to serve local communities and increasing diversity in the design industry.
Outside of work I find joy in roller skating, cuddling my cat, hiking, yarn crafts, and poorly managing my houseplant addiction :)
Process
Research
Immersive exploration that brings wonder to the everyday and challenges conventional solutions through questioning.
Concept Development
Drawing connections between the abstract and physical space to create a rich story which engages users at a deeper level and anchors the design.
Implementation
Intentionally applying the concept within the unique parameters of a space to provide impact and meaning to those who will inhabit it.
Let’s discover together.
