About 

 I have a passion for art and design, which led me to pursue a career in interior and architectural design. My inspiration comes from my surroundings, and my style draws power from Art Deco, Brutalism, Mid-Century Modern, and Modern Rococo, occasionally with soft touches of Surrealism or Bauhaus. I have over four years of experience in interior design and am a true New Yorker at heart
