Bethany has over 10 years of project management experience as she enters her role at Arise Collective. She attended the University of Michigan for architecture and Italian before completing her Master’s in Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy. She prides herself on the well-rounded humanist approach that living abroad afforded her. Once she returned to the United States, she began working in the architecture/construction field, where she has worked for the past 13 years.

She owns her own art business, BAN Artwork, which specializes in LED and mixed media art. She is also a co-owner and lead artist of Future Hooman, an immersive interactive art space in Durham, NC. Using this experience and more, she is very excited to bring the Stitching Stories Reimagined project to life.
