Sanctum

Clarissa Guzman (She/Her)

Clarissa Guzman, founder of Platform Studio, is a self-taught artist and spatial designer based in New York City. A first-generation Mexican-American from Houston, Texas — Clarissa’s work is rooted in her heritage and personal journey.

Platform Studio was born out of a longing for connection. After moving to New York City to pursue her career, Clarissa found herself homesick. Longing for the community, culture, and memories that shaped her, she began to create objects that pay homage to her youth spent between Texas and Mexico, weaving together elements of her childhood, heritage, and current contemporary influences. Her work is ultimately a blend of the past and present—infused with hints of Brutalism, religious relics, and the playful remnants of childhood imagination.
