SARA CASTELLANO

Hello! I’m a designer focusing on architectural design and planning. My goal is to create human centric design, collaborating with the users throughout the design process.

I believe architecture should be for people to enhance their experience of the environment.

  • Currently based in Boston as an architectural designer focusing on pursuing an M Arch at Northeastern, with experience in the higher education, science and tech, and healthcare architecture fields.

  • Service Design focuses on the current experience of users, analyzing the qualitative and quantitative data to inform how it can be improved and synthesizing data to develop solutions.

  • With a basis in both architecture and service design, I aspire to help my community by asking questions and listening to provide tailored solutions. Current focuses center around community development in Oak Grove studying food waste. I am involving myself within communities to develop relationships and collaboration.

  • Past experiences in media such as collage, charcoal, and digital media. Currently experimenting with lithography and book making!

MY PROCESS…

  • What is the problem we are trying to solve? How does the system currently work? These are all initial questions I ask when starting out on a design journey. Sketching and Analytical Data have been my favorite tools to solving this question.

  • What is the ideal solution? Developing a list of goals to work towards in design. Collaging and visual media are my tools of choice to answer this question/.

  • How do we get from the current to the ideal? This is often the toughest question to answer, yet the most exciting. I use a combination of sketching, diagramming, and modelling to answer this question.
