About

I am a strategic interior and environmental designer who specializes in 3D design solutions. While communicating designs visually through hand sketches I continually explore new and innovative ways to solve problems. Designing through strategy and research to identify the problem at hand - from the conceptual phase of ideation to finalizing environment and merchandising solutions - I solve design problems by prioritizing the baseline of a clients need. Creating environments that reflect and influence the user while elevating and enriching their entire experience.

Highly motivated to meet client deliverables, I strive to go above and beyond expectations in all aspects of the design process. I am always looking to learn as much as possible so I can continuously grow as a designer. I thrive on meeting new people, asking questions and experiencing new things.

Specialties: strategic conceptual 3D design, translating brand and identity into environmental and merchandising solutions, understanding and developing brand identity, creating quick visuals through hand sketches/gesture drawings, refining design direction through SketchUp and conceptual perspective drawings and renderings, architectural illustrations, material and furnishing exploration, space planning
