Meet our co-chairs! Sabrina Hall and Ariel Fausto bring different backgrounds and perspectives to the CUP board, but both are committed to the power of design to make positive change.

Ariel Fausto is a Principal at the nationally-recognized design firm H3. As a design leader specializing in architecture for the arts, culture and public space, Ariel is interested in design that connects people to the arts, their community and each other.  From Lincoln Center Theater’s new LCT3 to a new maritime museum in Biloxi Mississippi, Ariel spearheads some of the firm’s most ambitious projects.  He studied Environmental Design as an undergraduate at Texas A&M University, and went on to receive a Masters of Architecture from MIT.

Sabrina Hall is a Senior Product Design Manager at Etsy. With a career spanning over fourteen years, she currently teaches at City Tech, and was co-chair of AIGA NY’s Mentoring program. Sabrina is passionate about writing and speaking on accessibility in design, creating opportunities for emerging designers and advocating for equity within the field of design.
