I am a passionate design professional with a Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning from The University of Virginia's School of Architecture and a Masters of Architecture from Parsons School of Design’s School of Constructed Environments. My academic journey has been a blend of rigorous education and hands-on experience, shaping my multifaceted approach to design.
Currently, I am seeking opportunities to apply my skills and creativity in various design-oriented roles, particularly in architecture, interior design, and storefront design.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I work as a freelance graphic and web designer. This work has allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail and aesthetics, skills that are integral to all forms of design.
