Licensed New York State Architect, Product Designer and Writer
A graduate of Pratt Institute, with a Bachelors of Architecture (Barch) and a Masters of Industrial Design (MID), Tanya has dedicated her career to interdisciplinary design. She has sought out projects that span her varied interests to create unique design solutions in many mediums. Published for innovations in design and awarded a Presidential Design Achievement Award by the National Endowment for the Arts, Tanya has always been interested in the possibility of social change through design, education, and especially the written word. Tanya is currently working on her first screenplay, Bandwidth. |
Trained as a problem solver first and foremost, her writing explores the social implications of existing disruptive global technologies, making complex information accessible through relatable storytelling.
Writing topics includes but are not limited to: Architecture, Industrial Design, interpersonal social psychology, Big Pharma, the amphetamine epidemic, the 22 billion dollar U.S. Assisted Reproductive Technology [A.R.T.] industry with its exploitation of young American women through paid egg donation and its subsequent global reproductive tourism, Atmosphere Water Generators [AWG]; SMS / MMS communication, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing.
Prior to opening her own Architectural Design Practice and subsequent Production Company, Tanya was fortunate to call places like Pentagram and Lippincott (formerly Lippincott&Margulies) a rich training ground.
