As an interior designer, I am interested in exploring creativity and shaping the environment we live in by way of design. I have been in love with design and innovation since I can remember and I offer a lifetime of imaginative expression and creative problem solving. Originality, adaptability, and efficiency are words I live by in any situation and excel in communicating through the process of design.
