About 

I have a Master of Architecture degree from Parsons School of Design, and a BFA degree from Parsons for interior design. I have experience in residential and hospitality design. I am a designer of spaces because I want to be a part of an industry that is always changing. The idea of touching peoples' lives through the built environment is something that awes me. While some interiors and buildings come and go, thousands of memories would be made in a space that I helped create, which feels like leaving a mark on this world. I am passionate about empowering my community, and hope to be a pioneer for change through design.
