Volunteer Spotlight: Stephane Gross, Jr.

Slide 1 of 4

With a passion for meaningful design and a longing to make a positive impact, Stephane has supported our community-focused initiatives.

Stephane founded Red October, a Baltimore-based design studio that focuses on architectural, urban, and carpentry design.

He donated his time and Red October’s services for designing conceptual plans for the Artistic Laborers in Visual Exaltation (A.L.I.V.E.) performance and visual arts space in Baltimore. View our Snapshot of this project here.

Stephane shared, “The past couple of years with NDC have reignited my passion for architecture. Life can steer you off course, but NDC helped me get back on track and made designing fun again. I’ve met incredible people from all walks of life, and the connections I’ve made have been invaluable.”
