About 

Originally a Massachusetts Native, I am a multi-faceted designer now located in the Los Angeles Area. With a history in varying fields of the commercial retail industry, construction management, and marketing, I also possess a solid understanding of design process, theory and principles.

Between 2010 and 2014, I studied Architecture and Art History at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York  where I also acted as a Teacher’s Assistant for a 100 level Architectural Studio, and studied abroad in Rome Italy. 

As an avid fan of projects, both in and out of the professional environment, I can be found working on personal design concepts and sharpening my skills in different mediums.

My focus as a student was primarily centered around Architectural Studies and Art History. With these classes, I developed my studies further with an understanding Media and Society focusing on film and television production.

My interest in Architectural studies took me from the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York, to the cobbled streets of Rome, Italy.
