I am a native New Yorker with a passion for all things design. With experience in residential, retail, event and visual design, I have honed the capacity to create beautiful, textured and dynamic spaces. I have always had a passion for design, but as an undergraduate I did not know that interior design was a career option. I instead ventured into a career in communications and nonprofit management. While my path was rewarding, it was not until I was faced with my mother’s illness that I gained the courage to actually consider following my dream of becoming a designer. After a number of informational interviews, I was fortunate to intern at a high-end residential firm which eventually turned into my first job in the field. The experience was a great bootcamp, teaching me so much about residential design and the industry overall. It was from this early experience, that I realized that I definitely wanted to move forward with a career in interior design.
