About 

As an individual who is equipped with 2.5 years of experience, I am eager to find the right experience that will help cultivate and broadening my approach.

I am currently a graduate student seeking Master of Architecture at The Art Institute of Chicago. My experience includes corporate interiors and residential as well as commercial.
