New York School of Interior Design is a great learning institution because of its faculty.
Faculty come from a wide variety of backgrounds, they bring practical and theoretical experience from their professional lives.
NYSID keeps class sizes small (often no more than 12 people per class), so the students and faculty get to know each other well. As faculty member William Engel says, “The students want to know what you have to say; they respect you. There is definitely a sense of mutual respect. You don’t see that at a lot of other schools.”
A Faculty of Professionals
NYSID has more than 100 faculty members who are practicing designers at many of the top design firms in the country: Gensler, HOK, Perkins+Will, Rockwell Group and Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Many including Stefan Steil of Steilish Interiors & Architecture, and Warren Ashworth are principals of their own firms.
