Design is exploration, exploration into space, exploration into inspiration, culture, landscape, and function. Interior Design is the extension of our surroundings, allowing us to touch feel and grasp the world. As an Interior Designer I continue to challenge the concept of space and explore solutions to design problems that are innovative and progressive. I implement contemporary approaches of sustainable design, focusing on the ways design and material selection can function as a means to reduce the environmental impacts prevalent in the construction process. I have great interest in how craft, materials, lighting, and colors can uplift and change a space and allow users to experience the ephemeral quality of their environment.
