I have a Masters in Interior Architecture from University of Oregon, and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Whitman College. My design-related interests include educational spaces, social and non-programmed spaces, color, architectural history, and relationships between emotion and architecture. I enjoy working in groups where people bring diverse skills to the table.

A CIDA-accredited degree, sharing coursework with the Architecture department, my studies in Interior Architecture focused on Educational design, color theory, lighting design, design history, and furniture design. During my time at UO I benefitted from the close-knit culture of the Interiors department, and count each faculty member as a mentor.
