Sandra Closson is the Owner and Creative Lead of ARDENT id. She is known for her work on award-winning designs while with local firms, including The Advanced Neutron Source, Phipps Conservatory, and various residences. In 2024, she started ARDENT id and is the sole proprietor of the organization. She chose the name “ARDENT,” meaning enthusiastic or passionate, after a former employer told her she was “too passionate” about her work.
Since the start of ARDENT id, the business has pleased residential and commercial clients alike and has sponsored Point Park University’s Conservatory of Performing Arts. Within the coming years, Closson is looking to continue her work with developers to create astonishing public amenities and gathering spaces. She’s interested in working with both residential developers and end users.
ARDENT id prides itself on creating spaces that are one-of-a-kind and specialized to the client they are working with. As a homegrown Pittsburgher, Closson brings a unique perspective to people who are just moving here and long-time residents alike, helping to create environments that speak to the city.
DNA is thrilled to be welcoming ARDENT id as a new business member and is excited for the opportunities ahead. The distinct urban vibe of ARDENT id’s service makes it a perfect fit for Downtown. “I think the Downtown community has a lot to offer,” Closson said. “I wanted to be a part of the vibrance and the resurgence.”
