Ariel Cui

Interior Designer, Artist

I am a space designer and an artist (born and raised in Beijing) based in Brooklyn, New York City.

I have a Bachelor's in Display Design from Tsinghua University (2017)

and a Master's in Interior Design from Pratt Institute (2020)

I have work experience in exhibitions, showrooms, museums, and residential renovation.

Spaces and objects are vessels of memory that receive us, hold us, and extend our very essence.

In my artistic practice, I create poetic narratives with the mind of a storyteller and a deep sense of space that explores into expressionism, sustainability, and domestic intimacy.

My work is inspired by dreams, textures, love, ancient civilizations, vintage objects, literature,

and the beauty found in the mundane that carries everyday ritualistic patterns.
