I like to create environments that align my background in language, art history, art, architecture and design. Often being inspired by iconic classical interiors, I love to juxtapose the unexpectedly new with hints from the already respected old.
I am dedicated to coordination through construction management skills, fervent in realizing the design intent with collaboration from the client, colleagues, owners and consultants. I thrive in a team setting, from the onset of the project to its completion. My detail-oriented nature helps in creating rich yet efficient final products.
I previously held design positions at Kara Mann, Meyer Davis Studio and Mark Zeff in New York City. I received a BA in Interior Design from Harrington College of Design and a BA in Art History and Spanish from James Madison University. I am currently working freelance from my studio outside of Baltimore, MD.
