Hi there! I'm Kayla, a recently certified professional in interior architectural design and excited to embark on my professional journey within interior design. 

Throughout the past two years in my interior design program, I found that I really enjoy finding unique and adaptable solutions to a variety of design projects. Facing different design challenges through school projects allowed me to discover what I find most enjoyable to work on. My personal favorite projects have been in the commercial realm with office and hospitality design. I have interest and experience in working with residential spaces as well; however, I am more curious to venture into alternative living spaces such as tiny homes, ADUs, and camper vans. 

Since earning my Interior Design certificate, I've gained valuable experience in client consulting, plan drafting, and navigating permit approval processes with various jurisdictions. Although it has been great to kickstart my career with a freelance project, I am more interested in design opportunities where I am able to collaborate with others to design and build a space. I am most confident in my skills of architectural drafting with AutoCAD and Rhino 3D and hope to find a job that will allow me to grow these technical skills even further.

Besides interiors, I have always been fascinated by convertible furniture and organizing small spaces to function efficiently. I would like to eventually attempt my own furniture design, especially when it comes to refurbishing or reclaiming parts into a new piece in efforts to eliminate waste and increase sustainability. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors whenever possible. Some of my hobbies include skiing, hiking, and sitting around a nice, cozy, camp fire. When there is not enough time to go out of town, I enjoy cooking new recipes, playing board games or video games, and working on home improvement projects.
