“Design is where science and art break even"
-Robin Matthews
I am an interior Architectural designer with experience in hospitality design and MEP coordination. I am a passionate hard worker, skilled in both hand-drafting and rendering, and a wide variety of computer based design software.
I believe that truly successful design is a delicate balance between beauty and functionality. The design of a built environment should be a holistic experience dictated by artistic quality, technical functionality, and comfort. As a designer my work is strongly influenced by this view point, as well as my experiences and the cultures around me.
