REYNA DELCID

Reyna Delcid is a multi disciplinary designer based in Brooklyn, New York. She finds inspiration in observing the natural world, capturing the ordinary interactions between people and their surroundings. Much of her work as a designer focus on studying the interplay between humans and our physical environment. Photography and painting have been Reyna’s form of exploring her curiosity in various subjects. It has been an intrinsic form of expression since a child, allowing her to slow time down and remain present, something that she aims to emulate in her work.

After graduating from the University of Maryland’s School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in 2018, she moved to New York to pursue architectural design (and architecturally adjacent) work. Originally, Reyna was studying psychology at the University of Baltimore. Through self study, her interest in psychology guided her closer to design and cultivating harmonic spaces. This inspired her interest in the hospitality industry. Reyna has worked alongside chefs who helped her understand the intricacy in pairing and the significance of synergy within places we choose to occupy. Currently, she is working in architectural lighting design along with producing her first publication for Fingir, focusing on artists from the Central American diaspora. In September of 2021, Reyna curated her first show for Fingir, Somewhere Between, at Dupont Underground in Washington, D.C. The show introduces the project’s mission to highlight topics traditionally considered culturally taboo, and strengthen the intergenerational ties between families and their roots. 

Fundamentally, Reyna finds solace in collaborative environments that help plant seeds through conversations for future generations.
