About 

I am a recent graduate of The George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design with a BFA, summa cum laude, in Interior Architecture and Design. In the spring of 2017, I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark with DIS giving me an opportunity to experience the best of Danish design. I keep an open mind when approaching projects, as I feel each is an opportunity to learn and experiment with new concepts and visual techniques. Currently I am searching for a job as an interior designer at an innovative firm that works in a variety of projects from commercial hospitality to residential. Please feel free to reach out!

"With a focus on conceptual thinking and the design process, students are exposed to many design methods and tools that encourage them to push the boundaries of creativity. Students take a core studio course along with two supporting courses each semester that range from history to graphics to lighting.
