I recently graduated Syracuse University this spring with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior and Environmental Design and a minor in Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises. I am ready and willing to enter interior design position in strong design based firms, any location in the country. I am from the upstate New York area, but am ready and willing to relocate to start a career.
I have graduated college with fresh ideas and a strong motivation to get started and make a successful career for myself. My theoretical practice and willingness to work with and help others, as well as desire to learn new things, would make me a reliable and hard working candidate. I am more than willing to listen and share my own thoughts, ideas, and designs.
I have a strong passion to help others and create change in the world, through the aid of design. I believe that humanity can be helped and problems can be solved through design, for the world around us impacts the way we live, interact, and see one another as we progress and innovate for the future. Sustainability is a strong passion of mine, and an issue I wish to focus on as I further my career as a designer.
