A little about me…!
My name is Avi (pronounced AH-VEE), creator of Wild Studio and sacred space designer. Through my combined experiences I have tended and honed a collection of skills that I find work better in combination rather than apart. With those skills, I strive to help clients connect to their own unique vision for their home to help transform their physical space into one where ease, play, & connection are more readily available.
I received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC where I learned my love of process work. After school I followed my bliss of being outside, working with my hands as a farmer, tending to plants & animals. For 5 years I worked at Eden Village Camp in New York’s Hudson Valley, running a farm apprenticeship program. I also worked with Plant the Seed for the last 4 years, a Nashville based, garden education non-profit. It was through these opportunities I began my deeper study of how to facilitate supportive experiences.
In 2018 love led me to Tennessee where my (now) husband, Andy, and I spent a year building a small cabin home. With that experience I was able to further practice my role as space designer. We are currently preparing to build our (next & more permanent) home this year! We’ve been steeped in the design process for the last year and I’m excited to put our ideas into physical form!
I’m yoga certified and have especially loved studying yoga in support of women’s health. I have enjoyed working with others in their practice as well as deepening my own.
I live in Ashland City, TN on a ridge-top, forested homestead with my husband and some dear friends. Collectively, we aim to learn and play through growing plants & building spaces for healthy and connected community. We bring our different traditions and merge them in creating new ceremonies and songs as we live and dance in reverence with the land.
I bring my whole self and background to my facilitated design approach, allowing for my love of the earth, art, whole-systems processes and celebration of each person’s unique creativity to guide the way.
Thanks for joining me! I’d love to connect with you about an upcoming project or vision for your home.
