I am a senior Interior Design student with a creative background rooted in visual storytelling, thoughtful problem solving, and conceptual development. My work is driven by a belief that well-designed spaces should feel intentional, functional, and emotionally engaging- spaces that tell a story while supporting people who use them!
My academic experience has strengthened my skills in spatial planning, material selection, and design research, while my professional background has shaped the way I approach problem-solving, time management, and client-designer relationships. This allows me to not only consider how a space looks, but how it functions, feels, and communicates a clients’ story.
I am especially drawn to layered, character-rich interiors that balance refinement with warmth. I value collaboration, attention to detail, and learning through hands-on experience while continuously being motivated by opportunities that allow me to be creative while making someones living space function to their fullest potential.
