I have a Professional Degree in Architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, which has given me well-rounded knowledge in many aspects of design. I have 5+ years of experience with all phases of a project, from concept to construction administration. I have worked in small offices with restaurant and home remodels/ interiors in Los Angeles, as well as with large community developments in the Bay Area.
My interests include master planning, desing, remodels, interior design, branding, fashion, and housing trends.
