Environments & Experiences
Christie’s Auction House

At Christie’s, I worked on exhibition environments directly connected to live auctions, where work was highly public and closely tied to moments of sale.

I was involved from early planning through execution, translating auction material into physical environments that needed to function clearly and consistently under public visibility. The work focused on spatial planning, layout, signage, and presentation systems that supported how objects were viewed and understood during active auctions.

I worked closely with curatorial, marketing, operations, and production teams to ensure environments aligned with Christie’s global brand standards and the auction calendar. This required coordinating across tight timelines and multiple stakeholders while maintaining clarity and reliability across contexts.

Projects included gallery-based auction exhibitions, in-room banners and signage, and street-facing window installations at Rockefeller Center. Alongside creative and design responsibilities, I managed project budgets and worked with production partners to deliver work accurately, on schedule, and within real operational constraints.

Environments & Experiences
Ralph Lauren

At Ralph Lauren, the work focused on translating each seasonal collection into physical environments that supported how the clothing was introduced, understood, and experienced. The environments were designed to feel like a natural extension of the collection, carrying the same tone, references, and point of view as the clothing itself.

I was involved from early concepting and reference development through spatial planning, styling, material decisions, artwork package selection, sourcing, and custom fabrications. The work spanned windows, showrooms, and brand environments, with designs developed to be referenced and adapted across the global brand for replication in stores around the world.

Alongside creative responsibilities, I managed project budgets and worked closely with production and fabrication partners to ensure concepts could be executed within real financial and logistical constraints. This required balancing creative intent with cost, timelines, fabrication complexity, and installation realities while maintaining the standards of a legacy brand.
