Stacy is a designer based in NYC with a multi-disciplinary approach to design. Her work has ranged from buildings down to sculptural bags. With each project, she has been interested in telling immersive stories through formal, material, or digital explorations.
Originally from Taipei and Vancouver, Stacy moved to Houston where she obtained her B.Arch degree from Rice University.
Most recently, she was at Handel Architects where she curated interiors for a multi-family building, translating clients’ desires into a cohesive narrative woven with unique artwork. Previously, at SCHAUM/SHIEH, she designed a winning proposal for an adaptive re-use of a historic coffee plant in Houston. While at WxY Architecture + Urban Design, she collaborated with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to create a building with artist studios and communal spaces that prioritized sustainable design techniques.
