I am a graduate of Kansas State University's Master of Interior Architecture & Product Design program with a special interest in the rehabilitation of historic buildings. My time spent studying abroad in Italy and working in London, England has given me a passion for modern design in a historic context. My thesis work involved the rehabilitation of a local grain elevator into a mixed-use facility that incorporates residential units. I pride myself in my ability to see potential in places that have been overlooked by others.
