About 

I have always been passionate about design and began my college career as a Fine-
Arts major. I was drawn from the arts to architecture by the collaborative, functional and
service-minded aspects of the design and product.

My computer skills include Autocad 2012, Sketchup, Rhino, Vray, ARCGIS, Adobe
creative products (Photoshop, Illustrator, In-design and Premiere Pro), Microsoft Office
and digital model building using CNC routers and laser cutters. My analog skills include
drawing, drafting and model building. I am also an accomplished paper folder and cook.
