Summary

I’m a graduate with a bachelor degree in Interior Architecture from Woodbury University and I’m currently pursuing a masters degree at Cal Poly at night. I worked as a set designer for a few years and enjoyed the work I did so much that it inspired me to pursue a career in the Interior Design-Architecture industry. I would love to make an impact on the world with responsible, sustainable design.
