Hello. I have recently relocated to the SF Bay area from Boston, and am excited to get working! Variety is the spice of life, and I am interested in working in a firm with a broad range of projects. My greatest interest is in public projects, and places of learning, such as schools, museums, and libraries. I am interested in design of all scales, from master planning to furniture design and product design.
I have experience working in interiors and marketing as well, and enjoy opportunities to write and perform graphic design. With a knack for rendering, I have acquired nicknames of "photoshop queen" and "shadow master" from past employers. I am an enthusiastic worker, a fast learner, and have a sense of humor. I am looking forward to the opportunity to develop my talents in the long term with an exceptional firm.
When not working, I enjoy the outdoors with my husband and two dogs, traveling, gardening, and cuisine.
