About
I am interior design graduate from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. Even though my degree says "interior design," much of my training was in "interior architecture." I have done everything from space planning of an empty building to picking finishes and furniture. Interior design and architecture are a passion of mine because I enjoy entering a space that you can tell the designer put deep thought into the experience of the space. Interior design is about breathing new life into an old space.
