About 

I am an intermediate level architectural designer with 4 years of professional experience, largely in commercial interiors and hospitality design. I have always worked in small firms, allowing me to quickly gain experience and take on more responsibilities. I enjoy creative and collaborative work environments and I am especially interested firms that provide opportunity for long-term growth.

I love to travel, especially to England where I was born. (I am a dual citizen of the US and UK) I lived in Russia for five years as a child, and later in Croatia. I currently live in Brooklyn and am available for immediate hire.
