I am a graduate of New York University Gallatin School of Individualized Study; from Los Angeles. My studies focused on the intersection of art & design, architecture, and culture. I am very interested in exploring ways we can improve lives through the integration of design, architecture, and intersectional socio-cultural understanding. I'm passionate about public sector work, especially housing and social structures.
My strongest skills are with the Adobe suite, primarily with Photoshop and InDesign, as well as some Illustrator, Premier, and After Effects. I'm also learning modeling programs such as AutoCAD, Sketchup, Blender, and Rhinoceros. I've taken many different types of coding classes and am very comfortable learning new platforms and programs.
