About

Founder and Principal at TAG - Tristan Angieri Group, a transdisciplinary design studio creating ritual-informed spaces, objects, and experiences. My work merges material culture, place-based storytelling, and social inquiry—producing public projects and collaborations that bridge art, design, and performance. With advanced degrees from Harvard and Berkeley, and a background in exhibition-making, education, and filmmaking, I specialize in synthesizing research, creative direction, and collaborative engagement. My portfolio spans recognized films, exhibitions, and published work at the intersection of spirituality, cultural practice, and design. As an educator, I teach courses in design, visual culture and material inquiry. My focus is public-facing scholarship and creative practice. TAG represents my primary endeavor: forming spaces, objects, and experiences through a transdisciplinary design approach.
