I am a driven young designer who graduated from Philadelphia University under the Interior Design Program in 2012. I have a passion for Architecture, specifically in the Interior Design industry. Born in Washington, DC but raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia while traveling to various countries, I have had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge on culture, tradition, and art. In addition, I have always had a great passion for Photography as they tell a story more than words. Above, you will find some of my variety projects as well as a glimpse of my work in Photography.
Upon graduation, I embarked on a 3-month journey that took me back to the motherland and other nearby countries. I am currently employed by a successful new business at Social Tables where I am utilizing my CAD skills to produce floor plans for existing large commercial buildings.
