About 

My passion for design and all things creative started at a very young age which lead me to pursue a Master’s Degree in Interior Architecture from Chatham University. During my time at the program, I have grown to improve and expand my knowledge and skills creatively and in all things design related.

I am seeking an experience where I can work alongside creative professionals in a position that challenges me to produce high quality work and matches my interest in further developing my skills in interior design.

I am hard working, self motivated, very detail oriented and passionate.
