I was born and raised in downtown Chicago, inspired daily by the rich architecture and history of the city. At 18 I moved to Los Angeles to explore the West Coast and study at UCLA. Since graduating from UCLA's School of the Arts and Architecture in June 2019, I have worked as a freelance and professional designer in LA and Chicago. Now, living in Brooklyn, New York I am eager to delve into a new project. If you would like to collaborate, please reach out!
