Rebecca Costanzo, Art Director and Owner

Rebecca is your …Visual Voice.

 

Rebecca is an adept listener, bringing together various perspectives, to propel the design forward. 

She intuitively understands the subtleties of space, texture, and perspective - her renderings pull the viewer into in an imagined space.

She is a passionate defender of the environment, and through design, she reduces the carbon footprint, encourages stewardship, and enhances resiliency. She inspires people to reconnect with nature, with the artful blending of indoor and outdoor spaces. She applies her training in Cultural Anthropology to observe behavior, facilitate conversation among diverse interests, and synthesize inter-related processes into an integrated whole. Rebecca brings a sharp graphic eye to projects, having worked as the in-house graphic designer for a real estate company before directing her own graphic design firm, that served over 50 clients.

Rebecca is a perpetual learner and a student of cities - she has lived in New York, Mexico City, Chicago, and Washington, DC. She is deeply committed to her hometown of Richmond, Virginia, where she has returned, bringing all that that she has learned, to roll up her sleeves and make a positive impact on her community.
