I am a graduate of the Academy of Art University with a second Bachelor's degree in Interior Design. My first degree was received from the University of Hartford in Art History. My professional career has always been focused on professional creative service, primarily as a project manager for advertising agency creative departments. I made the move to go back to school to pursue my passion for interior architecture and design. I now work for a furniture design and manufacturing company, but my goal is to work with a studio where I will be involved in the overall creative process and design amazing interior spaces.
