About 

Recent graduate of the Art Institute of Houston with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Interior Design, I will do whatever it takes for me to prove myself to you.

 

Yes, I am an interior designer. That means I have the creative background, technical skills, and lots of ideas. You can use my skills to your advantage, along with giving me the opportunity to be a sponge to your knowledge.

Thinking outside of the box and coming up with new ideas that my peers have not yet thought of are what I am known for. 

My life revolves around design and culture. Having been the President of the IIDA (International Interior Design Association) at my chapter for a year, participating in events, and traveling for conventions has given me confidence and ability to provide my experience for your benefit.

I am very willing to travel or relocate if the job requires it. I have traveled many times for design conventions including NeoCon in Chicago and HD Expo in Vegas to expand my knowledge in the design field.

Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by culture and design. My father, who works for Hilton, would take me to work with him when I was young. Captivated by the regality, I remember pondering in awe as I absorbed every detail. I told myself, “one day, I will do this.”
