Lily is an artist, spatial experience designer, and architect based in New York City. Her work spans architecture, exhibition design, scenography, and event, luxury, and runway design, with professional experience working with clients including Boucheron, Tory Burch, Carolina Herrera, Rippling, and Hyundai.

She holds a B.F.A. in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Architecture from the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell University.
