Victoria PrizziA
Founder + Principal
Victoria Prizzia is Founder and Principal of Habithèque Inc., an award-winning and nationally recognized WBENC Certified cultural production, planning and design studio. Since 2008, Victoria has directed immersive high-profile projects at museums and environmental centers, nature preserves and parks, and universities, and overseen public-facing initiatives for state and municipal agencies. Since incorporating in 2010, Habithèque's projects have generated more than $17 million in client fees and prestigious grant funding while garnering international media attention. More importantly, millions of people have become more aware of, and connected to, environmental conservation and stewardship through their engagement with Habithèque's groundbreaking work at more than two dozen cultural and nature destinations across the United States.
An adaptable and imaginative studio, Habithèque's internal resources are expanded as needed to meet the specific requirements of each initiative. The results are highly collaborative, impactful cultural experiences. Habithèque's exhibitions work to build an informed and engaged citizenry by connecting the act of play and discovery with real world challenges and personal choices. Victoria's body of work brings together artists and scientists to demonstrate how we can build a more just and sustainable future for all living things. Using beauty as a threshold, Victoria creates a fertile foundation for individuals to be more open to challenging ideas and complex or unfamiliar stories. This work grows from her strongly held beliefs that change happens through progressive ideas, creative innovations, and emotional connections that build lifelong enthusiasm and empathy for the natural world.
Victoria holds a Master of Arts in critical and creative thinking pedagogy and Master of Fine Arts in interpretive planning and design. Her work and civic contributions combine a lifelong passion for the environment, a rich understanding of how people learn and a deep commitment to serving the public good.
In addition to nearly 20 years in cultural interpretation, education, and production, Victoria has served as a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, the University of the Arts, Drexel University and at the University of Hawaii.
The Blue and Green FUND was formed in 2019 by Victoria to promote and further societal awareness of emerging technologies and techniques for water conservation, ecosystem restoration and renewable energy while also providing a vision for scaling these advancements for global impact. The FUND accomplishes these goals as fiscal partner in the development of education-focused storytelling assets and experiences.
