About 

Hello! I'm Fabiana Villani, a recent graduate from Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Architecture, awarded with Highest Honors. My journey in architecture has been shaped by a deep connection to art and photography, as well as a life rich in travel and cultural experiences. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, a tropical island known for its luxury and tourism, I was surrounded by beautiful architecture, which deeply influenced my style and passion for design.

Moving to New York has been a thrilling shift—it's a world away from the familiarity of home, and I'm excited to explore everything this dynamic city has to offer. My love for museums and exhibition design, particularly the play of light, has only grown stronger here.

Architecture school taught me to approach challenges with creativity and adaptability, skills I’m eager to bring into a new role as an architectural designer in New York. I’m passionate about crafting spaces that resonate with people, and I’m ready to contribute to the architectural landscape of the city. I'm skilled in Rhino3D, Vray, Enscape, and the Adobe Suite, and I have solid experience with AutoCAD and Revit, especially in drafting and construction documentation.
