Design director and interior architect Katy Flammia has joined New York-based studio Spacesmith as the new design director of the firm’s Hudson, New York office. Flammia will oversee a team of more than 25 designers and architects, as well as leading and managing projects in all market sectors. She will also lend her expertise to the firm’s Manhattan studio when needed.
“Katy Flammia is a talented designer and recognized leader in the architecture and design community with a valuable range of experience at the helm of significant building projects,” says Jane Smith, founding partner of Spacesmith. “With a track record of meaningful work in varied markets for institutional, commercial and residential clients, she will add a new perspective to our diverse team.”
Prior to her new role, Flammia has helmed her own Boston-based boutique practice THEREdesign for 16 years, in addition to serving as design director at Seattle-based NBBJ. A registered architect in Massachusetts, Flammia has also served on the board of the Boston Society of Architects.
“During my 30-year career as an architect, I have always been interested in exploring how good design influences human action and fosters creatives interaction,” adds Flammia. “I am excited to be joining Spacesmith since it is so committed to providing healthy, efficient and inspiring spaces that uniquely express each client’s mission and organizational objectives.”
