Designer & Creative Director
Hi! I'm Cindy, a versatile designer and creative based in Paris, France. My journey began with a traditional education in architecture, where I developed a profound desire to extend into the art and creative realms, exploring new ways to tell stories and emotionally connect with diverse audiences.
As the Co-founder of Kick Cafe, a k-pop concept shop and cafe, and the Principal of my own design studio, I bring a unique blend of architectural expertise and creative vision. Serving as the Director of the Paris Architecture program for Catholic University of America (CUA) and an adjunct professor for NYU Paris and Institut Français de la Mode (IFM), I teach architectural sketching, theory, and 3D design.
In the practice world, I thrive as an Architectural and Interior Designer, contributing my skills to influential projects worldwide. As the Senior Designer for Christina Cole and Co, I worked on luxury residences in L.A. and Austin. I also managed large-scale hotels with //3877 across the U.S. and participated in competitions in South Korea with Reset-Studio. Demonstrating technical prowess, I served as an architect and BIM manager for major infrastructure projects in France and Saudi Arabia with Enia.
My academic journey includes a Master’s degree in Architecture from CUA, specializing in Sacred Space—a study focused on engaging conversations between the physical and the metaphysical through architecture. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Art with a concentration on Architectural History from the University of Washington.
Beyond the architectural realm, I've ventured into digital marketing and content creation, exploring graphic design, branding exercises, and photography. I am passionate about storytelling, utilizing various mediums to convey the essence of a place or company. This passion has expanded into video format, and I actively manage multiple social media accounts, enriching the narrative with every post.
I’m currently available for engagements.
