Arsutoria School Milano

I am a Los Angeles–based graphic and product designer and a recent graduate of ArtCenter College of Design, where I earned my MFA in Graphic Design. My creative foundation began with a Bachelor's in Environmental Design, a background that continues to inform my spatial sensibility and human-centered approach. This cross-disciplinary perspective—bridging the physical and the visual—defines my work. Driven by a deep curiosity about materials and the journey from concept to tangible form, I approach design as both craft and inquiry. I am currently focused on deepening my understanding of how objects are made—how materials are chosen, how ideas evolve, and how light, ultimately, connects with people. Through my work, I aim to elevate design from something merely functional into something that resonates on a deeper level.

CinderGlow

Category: Furniture

Competitions: Home Competition 2026

CinderGlow emerged in response to the Eaton Fire that devastated parts of California, transforming loss into a tactile, luminous gesture of renewal. Inspired by a broken branch found in Altadena, the piece places light directly within a fracture, allowing warmth to radiate from damage—a quiet act of hope in the midst of loss. Through its wood-like texture and natural movement, I wanted to create a sense of calm, safety, and quiet strength: a reminder that even in the broken places, light can still find its way through.
