About 

I am a passionate and detailed designer recently relocated to Asheville, NC from Los Angeles, CA.  I've worked 100% remotely since April 2020 and would be happy to assist companies with their project needs from my coworking office in Asheville, NC. I relocated to be close to family and to purchase property within the next year or two.
