A Bit About Me
I am a self-taught artist and writer, passionate about concept development, and proficient in traditional and digital sketching. I possess skills in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Enscape, with expertise in 3D spatial development. I have experience in hospitality and residential design and am deeply committed to sustainability and innovation. I am actively seeking collaborative opportunities in the architecture and design field.
Design was prevalent in an abstract form in my early life. As I grew, I became fascinated with the finer details and how a cohesive aesthetic is formed through materiality, form, and function. I aspire to put my creative talents to use in the world of Interior Design. I would like to continue to learn how technology and sustainability will evolve and influence a designer's footprint in the world.
