I am a graduate of Georgia State University (GSU) with a BFA in Interior Design and experience using Revit, Sketchup, AutoCAD, Photoshop, InDesign, Watercolor/Hand Sketching, Enscape, and PCON. As well as in-depth work experience in the design
and construction phases for multiple project types.
My experience includes work on hospitality, workplace, mixed-use, retail, multi-family, and education projects (for new construction and renovation). I am a committed designer that brings the best solutions and design to the client and the user.
Apart from work experience, I have an interest in social + environmental sustainable design. As seen in my award winning and ESRI recognized research-based design thesis “The HIVE: LGBTQIA+ Community Center” which spans multiple functions and design elements that serves as a solution for LGBTQIA+ community issues.
From project beginning to end, I have managed the scope and design of every project that I have collaborated on. Thus, all culminating into a well equipped designer.
