About 

I have grown up in the world of design, both from my mother as a designer and my father as an owner of a large millworking company. Interior Design has always been a passion of mine ever since my mother allowed me to paint my bedroom, several years and even more colors later, I knew I wanted to study Interior Design. 

After completing my bachelor of science degree in communications from Arizona State University, the following fall I was accepted into the Interior Design program at Parson The New School for Design. Once I graduated with an associates degree, I quickly began working with the high-end residential design firm, Jamie Herzlinger, where I have been working as a Junior Design for the past 3 years. 

I aspire to work in an environment that is both inspiring and challenging. I wish to collaborate with others in a way that will push my creativity and challenge my skills as a designer. I have great experience in working in high-end interiors and have excellent knowledge of  finishes, materials and have relationships with vendors and showrooms.
