About 

I am a multidisciplinary designer and project leader with professional experience designing things you can touch (architecture, landscape, interiors, and furniture) and things you can’t (web design, graphics and brand marketing) looking to collaboratively create beautiful, innovative work that pushes the boundaries of physical environments and digital interfaces. I am currently looking to leverage my background in design to connect with agencies searching for a well-rounded and enthusiastic Jack-of-all-Trades.
