Name: Yasmeen Shamsuddin

Title: Associate

Company Name: FXCollaborative 

Years in your current field: 11.5

What professional organizations or associations are you a member of? AIA

What was your most notable project 2017?

My most notable project is Circa Central Park, a new residential building located on the northwest circle of Central Park. I started on this project in 2014 during the early interior layout phases and was able to lead the building through to its completion last year–a rare opportunity that I feel fortunate to have worked with such a great team and client. 

When I am not working, I am… 

Likely running around, literally. I love running, both racing and training, which provides many opportunities to run alongside incredibly passionate, determined, and driven individuals (of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds).
