About 

Interior Designer, 3D Visualizer

 

I am a recent graduate from Colorado State University, majoring in Interior Design with a minor in Global and Environmental Sustainability.

Innovative solutions, meaningful concepts, evidence-based research, and eco-friendly practices drive the approach I take on all of my designs. 

I believe with a creative mind, passion, deliberation, and a little craziness - designers have the power to transform the world as we know it through thoughtful and intentional design solutions. 

I am inspired by early mornings, adventures, worldly-travels, my co-workers, and peers. 

When I am not immersed in my design work, I am busy traveling the world- looking for ways to learn from different cultures and peoples, and be inspired by the unique architectural wonders that surround us. I am working towards getting my EDAC certification, as well as becoming NCIDQ certified.

I am anticipating my future as a commercial Interior Designer as I begin the start of my professional career, and hope that my focus on Environmental Psychology, Social-Impact, International Design, Humanitarian Design, and Sustainable Design will allow me to travel internationally, and assist me in being able to make an impact on people and cultures all across the world.
