Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Koester is an industrial designer and artist with over 30 years of broad practice in architecture, exhibition design and project management, now based in New York. He blends hands-on fabrication, assemblage and sculptural work with large-scale architectural program management—from landmark Rockefeller Center restorations to museum exhibits and commercial fit-outs. Equally comfortable sketching antiques and crafting jewelry displays as he is coordinating multi-disciplinary construction teams, Frank’s work aims to provoke curiosity and “make order out of memory, loss and history.” He also contributes to technical open-source projects in dataflow and Rust, demonstrating an unusual cross-disciplinary fluency between physical design and modern data engineering. Trained at Pratt Institute, he pairs deep practical experience with a lifelong appetite for problem-solving across art, architecture and technical systems.
