As the Crow Walks is the creative practice of Patra Jongjitirat, based in New York City.
My creative world centers on design, cartography, and movement through space, with bridges into the realms of architecture, urbanism, and visual arts. Iām interested in creating balance among forms, illuminating patterns and relationships, and bringing temporary order to the wildness of life. I believe the creative process can be transformative for individuals and communities and that focusing on the why, how, and with whom something is done is what infuses product with substance. Through creative acts, I hope to open other ways of seeing while contributing to a more joyful, equitable world.
Prior to starting my own practice I worked with No Longer Empty, a public arts organization presenting site-specific exhibitions; Future Green Studio, a landscape design and urban ecology firm; and Project for Public Spaces. I hold a B.A. in Architectural Studies from Brown University, with further studies in graphic design at Parsons School of Design and interactive mapping through Pratt Institute's Spatial Analysis and Visualization Initiative. I was a 2020 Public Access Design Fellow with the Center for Urban Pedagogy.
As the Crow Walks is a Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise.
