Design for me is not solely a career. It is my passion, a way of life. I am inspired by everything around me throughout my daily life and am constantly finding new ways to express these concepts in the built environment. My goal as a designer is to create beautiful spaces for people to interact and gain inspiration from - Inspiration to achieve their goals and to have confidence knowing that their space evokes who they are. Our field would not exist without clients and my responsibility to the client is to best convey their brand and goals in order to allow them to be as successful as possible and to remain highly competitive in their respective markets.
I have spent the past 8+ years concentrating mostly on Corporate Office projects but have experience in nearly all sectors. I am experienced in large and small-scale design projects (both International and Domestic) and have enjoyed each project type immensely. I am very passionate about what I do and am dedicated to creating the best result for our clients, while having fun along the way. I enjoy solving design challenges and work very well in a team environment. I truly believe that we excel most when we collaborate with others.
