I am looking to further expand and push the definition of what it means to be an interior designer. I would like to do more than simply string together superficial applications that complement each other; but to aim to truly compose an interior atmosphere that provides a holistic experience and benefit to its occupant. I believe that there are no distinct demarcations of where one facet of design ends and where another begins. One design is bound to influence another. 

Surprisingly, this all comes as a close second, possibly a tie, to my first passion of getting involved with the community and promoting volunteerism. I believe we all need to unplug from our "everyday" and simply connect and give back to the world around each of us.

During my undergrad in Philly, I had this instantaneous loop of a daydream playing in my head as soon as I sat down in a SEPTA train. As, the train would slowly trail from the Norristown area into Center City, there were areas in between that came across as sad and forgotten. Just one dilapidated building after another. Each one broken but showing hope with mother nature growing out of windows and cracks in between the bricks. In my head I would imagine these forgotten buildings getting resuscitated enough to eventually allow life to fill its walls and surroundings. I'd dream of youth centers, libraries, community theaters, playgrounds and more.
