About 

I am an Interior Designer from North Carolina. I am a graduate from Western Carolina University, a CIDA and NKBA accredited school. My passion is in commercial design, more specifically hospitality, retail, and restaurant design. I have a year of experience in both residential and commercial design, but am looking for opportunities to further myself as a designer and to prove myself to a good firm and the design community.
