About 

I am an Interior Architect born and raised in Massachusetts. While earning my degree I worked in fashion which has inspired the way I design for my clients through playing with colors, textures and patterns. Creating innovative designs that speak both to the architecture as well as the clients personal style is the focus of my work. Highly motivated and a great team player with a passion for developing my team as well as myself through collaboration.
