I have graduated from the Ohio State University in June 2007 with a bachelors of science in Interior Space Design. While attending the University, I also received my bachelors in History of Art and interned at The Columbus Museum of Art. At the museum I was an assistant to the registrar where I was in charge of the organization and research of the museum's main collection.

As a design student I have been introduced to a variety of representational methods. Although my area of concentration has been in the digital realm, I have also been trained in analogue drafting skills as well. I have experience with a number of digital programs which are used to make architectural and interior representation possible. These programs include: SketchUp, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Flamingo, and 3D Studio Max. In addition to 3D software I am also fluent in 2d Graphics programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
 
While at Ohio State I was also given the opportunity to participate in multidisciplinary competition projects.
