I've been working in the NYC architecture and design industry for the last 3-4 years, primarily working on large scale flagship stores such as Victoria's Secret, Tory Burch and Mecca Maxima. Most recently working on a large scale mixed use site in London. I graduated from Radford University’s interior design program, with a minor in graphic design. Ever since I was a kid I've always been interested in art and design and have taken all kinds of art classes throughout school ranging from sketching to photography, dance, and graphic design. In my free time I really enjoy traveling and I love to bring influences from the places I have been into my designs. I also enjoy hiking, DIY projects, movies, and concerts.
