My passion for art and design inspired me to study Architecture at Northumbria University which provided me with a fundamental understanding of the design process. Since 2020 I have expanded on existing knowledge whilst gaining experience on a large variety of global projects during my time in Vietnam and England. I have recently moved to Washington, D.C. where I intend to further my experience in the field of design.
