Sidney Ruedas earned a Bachelor of Design in Architecture from the University of Florida in 2024, along with minors in Sustainability & the Built Environment and Urban & Regional Planning. After graduating, she moved to the Hudson Valley to pursue an internship with Walters-Storyk Design Group. In that role, she gained experience in acoustic analysis, 3D modeling and visualization, design documentation, and project management.

Having grown up in Florida, Sidney has always had an appreciation for the interplay between the natural environment and the built world. That, in combination with a childhood surrounded by music, she has found herself learning more about the world of acoustic architecture and how materiality and technical decisions can shape interesting spaces like recording studios and venues. She hopes to bring an attentive eye to the team while she simultaneously absorbs more knowledge.

Outside of work, Sidney enjoys exploring the Hudson Valley and the northeast, reading, teaching herself guitar and piano, and journaling.
