Tania Ursomarzo

Teaches at ETCETERAcreative / TRIPTYCH

Tania Ursomarzo's creative work and professional career has taken an unconventional path and crosses the fields of architectural, interior, fashion, product and graphic design, as well as visual art and performance. Formally trained as an architect, she has practiced architectural and interior design in Canada and the United States, working on local and international projects of different scales and scopes in both the private and public sectors. Alongside architectural pursuits, Tania maintains an active multidisciplinary design practice. Tania is the owner and creative director of an independent art and design studio, ETCETERAcreative, focused on design and fabrication research and experimentation. She is also the owner and designer of New York-based footwear and fashion product brand, TRIPTYCH. Diverse as they are, these threads of practice all interweave in her life, placing her work and thinking somewhere between art, design, fashion and architecture. Her work has been exhibited, screened, performed, published, built and received awards in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. Currently, Tania teaches across different design programs in the School of Constructed Environments, School of Fashion, School of Art & Design History & Theory, School of Design Strategies, SPACE and the Pre-College Academy at Parsons School of Design while balancing personal and professional projects close to her heart.
