Designer. Artisan. Writer.
In my art and design practice, I collaborate with mission-driven organizations and community-based entrepreneurs to envision better public spaces through interior design, visual art, and arts field-building services. My passion is partnering with community leaders, members, and artists to translate big dreams into beautiful and inclusive environments where communities feel they belong and can be their authentic selves.
about katryna
I am a Washington, DC-based designer, artisan, and writer with over 15 years experience in social impact design and formal training from Howard University and the Rhode Island School of Design. My art and design practice supports mission-driven organizations and entrepreneurs in creating beautiful and inclusive spaces, goods, and services. I have built joyful, healing spaces with Black and Brown communities, from small business headquarters for organizations such as Oyin Handmade to cutting-edge art exhibitions with the Studio Museum in Harlem. My approach is influenced by my grandmothers’ impeccable style and celebration of Black joy and culture.
