Hello! I am a designer with an intention to heighten the built environment by in depth research and experimentation. I enjoy materiality and the ways of exploration through color and texture. Spaces and environments are expressed by the people who inhabit them and that creates a physical personality which is reflected by the design. I hope to create spaces that fulfill new stories and narratives.
