Whitney Waitsman

Whitney is a graduate of Oklahoma State University, where she earned a degree in architecture with a focus on fashion design, history, and theory. Her passion for design stems from a lifelong love of ballet and the visual arts. These disciplines shaped her understanding of movement, form, and expression. Inspired early on by her grandfather—an architect who first taught her how to sketch—she found architecture to be a natural and compelling outlet for her creative energy.

Her creative work is especially informed by the intersection of fashion and architecture, particularly how textiles and structure translate into built form. She is continually inspired by the way design can blend functionality with storytelling.

Originally from Fayetteville and a graduate of Fayetteville High School, Whitney is excited to return to her roots and contribute to the community that played a formative role in her development. Outside the studio, Whitney enjoys sketching, painting, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying a good ol’ cup of coffee.
