Reyna is multi disciplinary designer based in Brooklyn, New York. She finds inspiration in observing nature, capturing the ordinary interactions between people and our surroundings. Much of her personal work as a designer studies our psychological experience navigating spaces when we consider environmental impacts first. Photography, painting, and writing have been intrinsic forms of expression since childhood, allowing herself to slow time down and remain present, something she aims to emulate in her work.
After graduating from the University of Maryland’s School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in 2018, she moved to New York to pursue architectural design (and design adjacent) work. In 2019, she worked in construction tech and then transitioned to architectural lighting design in 2021. Since 2024, Reyna’s experience and interests guided her closer to seeking holistic opportunities that focus on intersectional sustainability, community oriented and regenerative design. This summer, she finished her first residency at Domaine de Boisbuchet in Lessac, France for Fingir’s first publication No olvides las manos que nos dieron de comer. The book is an intergenerational reflection and archive with submissions from 26 artists from the Central American diaspora; she hopes to release the first edition within the next year. In the Fall of 2026, she will be starting her Masters of Science in Sustainability in the Urban Environment at City College of New York. Ultimately, she hopes to help plant seeds for future generations to come through her own life explorations.
