Angie Lee: The evolution of identity - Imagine a Place
https://ofs.com/imagine-a-place/angie...
Few places in the world have been talked about, romanticized, and obsessed over like New York City. Much of that attention has arisen from the city’s diverse heritage. Thousands of immigrants who entered the country through Ellis Island have left their mark. From Chinatown to Little Italy, the city’s places reflect the history of its people. The people responsible for crafting environments in this storied location aren’t just creating great work for their clients, they’re contributing to the city’s larger narrative of “place."
Angie Lee knows this well as Partner and Design Director of Interiors at FXCollaborative, an architecture, interior, and planning firm, located in downtown Manhattan.
She describes the city’s places this way: “What used to be ethnic groupings from segregation, have turned into rich destinations for people to come and learn about the culture. It's evident, in the food, in the stores and shops, and the architecture and design of the buildings. All of it blended into this incredible existence.”
Angie’s work provides her the opportunity to design spaces for diverse clients throughout the city. But her success begs the question: how do you learn to create a place in the intersection of so many cultures and stories? It’s a story that starts much earlier in Angie’s life and in a place far from the bustle of New York— Kansas.
