About

Jiaying Qu is an architectural designer with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Tianjin University and a Master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP). With a strong interest in design installations and vintage furniture, she brings a unique perspective to her work, blending modern sensibilities with timeless aesthetics.

Currently, her practice focuses on single-family residential projects and interior architecture, where she combines functionality with artistic expression. Drawing inspiration from mid-century and vintage furniture, she strives to create spaces that are both distinctive and deeply personal.

Beyond architecture, Jiaying is passionate about furniture design and experimenting with design installations. Whether designing custom pieces or exploring spatial narratives through installations, she seeks to craft objects and environments that seamlessly integrate art, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance. Her design approach reflects a commitment to creating timeless works that inspire connection and elevate everyday life.

She hopes to connect with like-minded designers who share her passion for vintage furniture and interdisciplinary design in architecture.
