About
I am an Interior Designer with several years of experience in various sectors of this industry and beyond; Healthcare, Hospitality, Retail, Residential, Collegiate athletic facilities, & Professional sports venues. I specialize not only in design but also on the construction/build side of the industry.
I have always had a passion for creating. I have extreme attention to detail and a talent for art.
I enjoy being an intricate part in how people live and adapt in their homes & workplaces and how they experience interior spaces and interact within that environment. These environments should be functional as well as allowing the end user feel comfortable, expressive and entertained. I believe that the living environment and art make up who we are as people as well as professionals.
