About 

I am fascinated with modern design and architecture. I have worked for 2 architecture firms, one as an intern interior designer and the other as an apprentice interior architect while I attended the International Academy of Design and Technology, where I graduated cum laude with a BFA in Interior Design. I am searching for an ideal firm where I can express my design and become a vital part of the team.
