Design is such a ubiquitous aspect in the things and places we see everyday. To become a designer, particularly of space, is such an exciting responsibility. I want to be a part of this life, because being able to be creative everyday is all I've ever dreamed of. I love architecture, old and new -it is a very specific language that speaks to the way we, as building occupants, circulate, work, find leisure and comfort. My passion for creativity doesn't start and end with architecture, I also enjoy writing short fiction, finding great music, attending music/film festivities, and all things fashion -especially the weird kind.
