To Tatiana Veloso, design has a powerful ability to connect individuals to each other and to the places they inhabit.
From Rio de Janeiro to NC State, Tatianaβs journey as a designer is as inspiring as it is impactful. A 2024 graduate of the Master of Landscape Architecture program, Tatianaβs work bridges the gap between art, science and community engagement.
Driven by her passion for creating better cities, Tatianaβs design philosophy centers on systems and relationshipsβwhether between people, spaces or the environment.
Her masterβs research focuses on co-creating climate resilience in informal settlements, particularly in Rioβs densely populated communities. These areas face heightened risks from landslides and flooding, exacerbated by climate change. Tatiana envisions a collaborative approach, one that incorporates the insights and innovations of local residents. βLandscape architecture has the potential to mitigate impacts, save lives and improve communities through partnership and understanding,β she explains.
Tatianaβs time at NC State has been marked by meaningful collaborations and transformative experiences. βYou learn so much from the faculty and your cohort,β she shares. βItβs a collaborative environment where everyone supports and pushes each other forward.β
Currently, Tatiana is applying her expertise at a local design firm specializing in active transportation and urban mobility. Sheβs also advancing her climate resilience research as a 2024 @lafoundation National Olmsted Scholar finalist, which funds impactful projects like hers.
For Tatiana, the lessons of NC State are just the beginning of a lifelong commitment to making cities more sustainable, inclusive and connectedβproof that design is truly a global force for good.

πΊπ Today, Niasha Kodzai is walking off the stage with a degree in Industrial Design. Tomorrow, she`ll be a part of the next cohort of professional designers who wish to bring joy to the world. π§ΈοΈβοΈ
"My time as an industrial design major has taught me so much, not just about the field but also about myself.
It brought out my strengths and challenged my weaknesses. It showed me what environments do and donβt work for me, and how to collaborate with people of all different work styles.
I feel lucky to have spent the last four and a half years surrounded by both friends and professors who simultaneously pushed me to my limits and encouraged me because they believed in what I could accomplish.
During my time here I got to fulfill my dreams of studying abroad in Australia, where I developed a love of adventure, research, and metalworking and interning with @fisherprice, where I also learned what it takes to become a toy designer.
Overall I would like to give a huge thank you to all of my friends, family, and professors who gave me the courage and motivation to pursue this degree."

ππ A letter of thanks from soon-to-be Master of Advanced Architectural Studies graduate Marina Mustakova:
"I canβt believe the time has flown by, and graduation is here! Although my program was relatively short, it provided me with a wealth of experiences and insights that I will cherish forever.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to:
My college for fostering such a strong and supportive community. It has been especially helpful for me as a newcomer to easily integrate into a new environment, feel welcomed, and become part of this wonderful family.
My advisor, teacher, and role model, Tom Barrie, for your unwavering optimism, captivating lectures, invaluable guidance, and continuous support. It has been an honor to work hand in hand with you.
Professors Bryan Bell, Donghwan Moon, and Traci Rider for the lessons I learned in your courses that have profoundly facilitated the work on my research project and opened new perspectives and horizons for my future study and practice.
Ashley Davis and Abigail Bagwell for the incredible opportunity to work as a design instructor and build my own architectural studio at Design Camp. Teaching high school students gave me new insights about my career path and where I can grow professionally and personally. It truly sparked my passion for teaching.
David Hill for the priceless chance to work as a teaching assistant in the studio. It has been an unforgettable experience that allowed me to work with students, immerse myself in studio culture, practice teaching skills, and gain a deeper understanding of myself, my values, and the areas where I can evolve.
Melissa Simpson for your energy, generosity, encouragement, and support on navigating my career path. Working with you has been uplifting and incredibly beneficial.
