About 

I'm moving to Chicago October, 1 2016.

I'm actively looking to join a team of design professionals who aspire to bring order and inspiration to everyday life.

I approach design, by engaging with clients to understand their needs, constraints, and organizational dynamics. We can then develop a strategy to solve for their needs in order of priority and develop systems to mitigate future costs as needs change.

I welcome conversations surrounding new opportunities or design partnerships in the Chicago area.
