Creating interior environments that are memorable and meaningful play a vital role in my design philosophy. My work is driven to form a connection between the users and their surrounding environment to create an experience and not simply an encounter. My desire to really create an experience manifests especially in my interest in commercial and hospitality design, which I intend to pursue upon completing my collegiate education.
