About 

My eye for design and creative mind lead me to study Architecture and the History of Art at the University of Michigan.  Over the years, I studied architecture, culture, and language abroad in Italy, France, Switzerland, and Spain.  I later moved to Barcelona to study Castilian Spanish at the University of Barcelona and loved it so much there that I stayed for four years working as a graphic designer and an English teacher while living in an artist residency.  My passion for the arts culminates around sculpting space, architectural visualization, 3D animation, graphic design, and watercolor painting.
