A Los Angeles-based designer with a multi-faceted experience base in architecture, environmental design & graphics, hospitality, interior architecture, print design, and multi- & single-family dwellings.
Looking for design opportunities where I would use and expand my skills and experience to help bridge the gap between people and brands with spatial solutions and integrated technology. My experience base is somewhere between conceptual and schematic design work and nuts and bolts architecture.
My current IDP requirements are at 81% complete, so just a little bit more (plus tests!)
