Vera Xie

Designer

Vera met Warren Schwartz as a student at the Rhode Island School of design where he became a mentor. After graduation, she joined an architectural firm in China, contributing to several projects, then established her own venture, the Design Lab and Gallery, where Vera actively participated in architectural design competitions, renovation projects and commercial space designs. In these smaller-scale efforts, she strived to perfect both overall design approaches and  the smallest architectural details, integrating elements of industrial design, interactive design, and product design. Now permanently back in the US, Vera brings this comprehensive design approach to her work at Schwartz/Silver.
