About the Designer

I’m Chloe Jenny Bennie. I am a current adjunct professor of architecture at RISD, designer, texture enthusiast, and recent M.Arch graduate.

Originally from Scotland, I am now a British/American Dual Citizen and reside in Providence, Rhode Island, by way of Singapore, California, and Hawaii.

I am interested in design that thinks about the sensory connections with materiality and how that can create a sense of place, object construction, and the politics of gender and class structures within architecture.
