Clear Studios was formed with a vision to create environments that connect humans to each other and to the natural world.

We are a creative studio that specializes in the design of holistic space within hospitality, residential & environmental settings. We create feeling-based environments through a multi disciplinary lens and engage with natural healthy materials, sensorial experience, sustainable and regenerative design.

Steffi Min is a designer merging trade between furniture, interior & graphic design. Her work is inspired by the delicate beauty of handcraft processes and industrial urban material explorations. Drawing influence from personal travels to South, Central America & Asia, the connections to global artisans have created a deep impression on her work. An industrial design background at Pratt Institute provided an open exploration to ‘Form follows Function’ and an understanding to a variety of trades and how they relate. With high attention to detail, Steffi focuses on the curation of visual story telling, branding, furniture fabrication and interior layout.

Samuel Sutcliffe is an artist & architectural designer interested in spatial development beyond what we experience with our basic senses. Studying Architecture at Pratt Institute allowed him to explore academic concepts and theory. Working for Rafael de Cardenas// Architecture at Large, in high-end residential and commercial architecture, allowed for the realization of refined, even avant garde, designs. Exploring the lands of South and Central America introduced a whole new set of ideas relating to emotional and intuitive spaces through a more "Back to Basics" approach.
