Trained as both an artist and an architect, I wove together these two worlds in founding an architecture+art firm which I led for over 30 years. Most of my major architectural projects included both small and large scale sculpture, as well as two dimensional artwork integrated with the architecture. Since being a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome in 2009–2010, I’ve had seven exhibitions of my work in Italy most recently in the Fall of 2025. A graduate of Yale College and the Yale School of Architecture, I also studied sculpture at the École National Supérieur des Beaux Arts in Paris. Projects which include major sculptural elements can be found locally at the Beecher School, Albertus Magnus College, University of Connecticut and the Center for Information Technology at Norwalk community college. Artwork also was incorporated in the residential projects for clients such as Garry Trudeau and Jane Pauley as well as Keith and Patti Richards. Collaborative artwork, which was created with the students appear on the façade of the Sandy Hook School in Newtown Connecticut.

@SankofaInteriorDesigns_Leti

My artistic journey started with growing in my family's catering business, and my experience growing up in my mother's home that consistently embraced bold color, different decor themes every few year, and the request that I be the one to decorate the venue for any wedding, the food platters and place settings. After years of working in a public service field and assisting friends and family with home decor projects, I made the commitment to return to college and obtain a degree in Interior Design. Being a constant creator of arts and crafts since a child, attending classes as an adult in ceramics, 2D and 3D Design, and sculpture has been the constant nexus that links how I approach Interior Design and creating my art. When you walk in a space, why does your attention go to that art hanging on the wall ? Why do you want to touch that artifact or piece that sits in the middle of a dining table or credenza. Why is a space peaceful or makes you excited and want to explore. They all connect
