More than half of New York City's population relies on the subway for their daily commute. However, the subway experience has transformed into one of the most unpleasant aspects of the 24-hour day due to issues like overcrowding and sensory overload. Once celebrated as a technological model, the NYC subway system has now become a stark symbol of neglect and decay. Compounding the challenges is the growing homeless population, turning subway tunnels and cars into makeshift shelters, places for obtaining food, and opportunities for social connection. This thesis delves into a novel approach, exploring a new model for homeless services and proposing interior design interventions to contribute to a healthier and more comfortable subway experience.

Established in 1961 on New York's Upper West Side, the American Folk Art Museum faced outcry and debate when MoMA announced plans to demolish it for expansion. In 2014, the building was demolished, but MoMA preserved its unique metal façade.
Inspired by the self-taught artists' warmth and craftsmanship, I designed my project around the museum's quilt collection, incorporating weaving, threads, and negative spaces. I used various materials to create intertwined spaces, allowing visitors to feel a sense of weaving. Repurposing the old metal facade as the front desk material adds a nostalgic touch for visitors.

This project aims to celebrate the spirit of sport and the underground
scenes in the skate park through one of the most well
respected brands in the skateboarding lifestyle. When performing
a 180-degree spin in the air, the sense of inversion ignites the
adrenaline, making the sport more enjoyable. In order to recreate
this sensation, the curved ceiling was designed to mirror the
ground, capturing the moment of disorientation and creating a
fun, unique, and unexpected shopping experience.

Type: Residential
Role: Assistant designer
Status: Completed
A pre-war co-op required a total renovation to be transformed
into a home for a couple and their sons. This
French family had moved to New York after living in London
for 20 years. To respond to the client’s lifestyle, we
altered the interior to create better use of space, including
a wood paneled den/office, spacious living room dining
area, a primary bedroom suite, and an eat-in kitchen
with banquette. The furnishing was inspired by the clients’
existing antique French pieces to satisfy their desire for
maintaining a taste of Paris. We curated the finest furnishings
and accessories, representing an unexpected combination
of French chic and New York style.

Type: Residential
Role: Assistant designer

As one of the most interesting historical buildings in NYC, Hotel
Des Artistes, first created as studio building by a group of artists,
was transformed into a co-op building after 60 years. The client
wanted to transform the apartment into a part-time writing nook,
requiring expertise in both architecture and interior design. The
project included landmark filing with the building department,
upgrading all electrical and mechanical systems, re-planning the
layout to improve flow, and finalizing interior furnishings. From
the dramatic chandelier to the rich, floral aubergine palette, the
project celebrated the historical and traditional. The home is absolutely
exciting, owing to unique and unexpected design combinations.

This young, growing family had struggled with their previous
kitchen, which was dark with a blocked flow and lack of storage.
When we reimagined the space, we decided to rework the floor plan and close the open kitchen to create a space full
of pantry closets. An arched entryway framed the breakfast
seating nicely, with the bar cabinet behind. Inspired by the
Hudson River view, we developed a color palette that highlighted the owner’s favorite river view. The renovated kitchen
became the center of their home and most of the family activities
were held here.
