Meet Anthi

Let’s Discover What We Can Create Together

Anthi Frangiadis is an architect, planner and artist whose professional career is currently based in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Educated at the Rhode Island School of Design where she received a Bachelor of Architecture & Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a Concentration in Art History, her artwork compliments her professional career as an architect.  She finds drawing meditative and communicative.

Anthi fosters community involvement and currently serves as the Chair of the AHA! Steering Committee.  Throughout her career she has served as a board member for Marion Art Center, Cape Cod Canal Region Chamber of Commerce, Mayflower Bank, Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford/Wareham, and the Wareham Village Association. She served on the Wareham Planning Board and various sub committees for seven years when she was recognized by the Southeastern Regional Planning & Economic Development District with Special Recognition.

With a passion for infusing art in architecture, I take a different approach to bringing architectural projects to life. I use distinctive freehand drawing in the design process and weave art and community into spaces where people live and thrive. It all starts with an idea, full of potential, and ready to be transformed. Let’s discover what we can create together.
