Gregory W. Hurcomb

Gregory W. Hurcomb is an Assistant Professor in the School of Interior Design at Louisiana State University's College of Art & Design, where his work bridges fine arts and interior design through explorations of space transformation via air, light, sound, and structure.

His academic credentials include:

• Bachelor of Arts with High Honors in English Literature & Letters (minor in Chemistry) from Rutgers University
• Certificate in Photography from the International Center of Photography
• Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania

Hurcomb's research centers on analogue-digital process intersections in interior design, focusing on creating human-centric environments through atmospheric manipulation via color, lighting, and materiality. His expertise spans interior/architectural design, visual communication, experimental media, digital fabrication, installation art, and speculative futures, emphasizing mood generation through form and fixtures.

His recent publications reveal consistent exploration of creative pedagogy, material reuse (readymades/waste), and post-disciplinary futures across design education. Key thematic threads include multi-sensory user activation, archaeological aesthetics in contemporary design, and interdisciplinary teaching methodologies that merge artistic practice with spatial theory.

Hurcomb teaches foundational through advanced interior design courses (ID1711/1712, ID2750/2751, ID4758) while maintaining an active creative practice. His advising extends through studio instruction and guest critiques at institutions including UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and Woodbury University, fostering experimental approaches to spatial design.
