Gianna Dai

Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)

A junior majoring in Interior Design with a minor in Furniture Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Originally from China, I spent two formative years studying and living in New York at Pratt Institute before transferring to SCAD to deepen my focus on interior and furniture design. I also completed a one-year professional internship in China, gaining hands-on industry experience while balancing international academic perspectives. Rooted in international education, I blend cross-cultural thinking with a deep passion for Chinese traditional culture, integrating its philosophy, aesthetics, and craftsmanship into my spatial and furniture creations. Beyond design, I am dedicated to spiritual healing and meditation, believing that mindful living shapes meaningful environments. I strive to design spaces that are not only visually compelling but also emotionally supportive, balancing functionality, cultural heritage, and mental well-being. With a vision to create thoughtful, healing, and human-centered design, I aim to contribute to a more gentle, balanced, and compassionate world. Want me to shorten it or make it sound more artistic / professional for your portfolio?

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
