About 

Hi! I'm Ellis, an Architectural Designer here in New York City. I have over 3 years of professional experience across the architecture and interior design industries. My work experience includes projects in hospitality, commercial and single-family residential, resort, workspace, and education.

I enjoy designing holistic, distinct, innovative spaces and experiences that prioritize user-centric and sustainable initiatives. My skillset, accrued knowledge, and work ethic help me perform as a versatile designer and a dependable teammate.

In 2020, I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a BArch degree and three professional internships.
