I am a recent UC Davis Interior Architecture and Design graduate with two years of interior design internship experience specializing in education. I am passionate about sustainability and interested in the concept of biomimicry and its application to interior design.
I enjoy tackling challenging design projects because the results are oftentimes completely different from the initial proposals. It is truly fulfilling to look back at the design process and see the project evolve from its initial concept.
During my free time, I relax by practicing wushu, a form of performance martial art.
