The
Black
Interiorist

Story

I research, curate, and archive Black interior spaces. My work is centered on reimagining interiors as sites of liberation for Black people across the diaspora. Through my practice, I developed Interior Race Theory, I'm building the Black Interior Archive, and I founded Making the Body a Home to speak to how design can shape Black belonging. I currently sit on the board of Open Architecture Collaborative.
