My name is Christopher & I am a 26-year-old Tennessee transplant originally from North Carolina. I am a recent graduate of The College of Architecture + Design’s School of Interior Architecture from The University of Tennessee, with plans to pursue a career as an Interior Architect specializing in high-end residential, retail, hospitality, and corporate interiors. I take pride in my ability to work well with others and strongly feel that my time spent learning and working in a collaborative setting has allowed me to grow as both an individual and a designer.

The University of Tennessee - Knoxville, Knoxville, Tennessee, Bachelors, Interior Architecture
Throughout my time at The Univerisity of Tennessee's College of Architecture + Design, many of my studio professors stressed the importance of designing with the user in mind, rather than designing simply for aesthetics. That level of understanding allowed me to gain a love for psychology and the connection that it has to the design world.
