About
As an Interior Designer, with a Degree from Harrington College of Design in Chicago,IL, it is my goal to expand my global understanding of the design industry through the procurement of a position in Shanghai, China. I have Studied in both Italy and Greece instilling in me a passion for culture and a curiosity towards how spaces have profound positive and negative impacts on people. I believe in progressive smart and efficient design, but I also think it is important to keep ties to our past. My aesthetic approach to design is modern with a whimsical, playful edge always keeping a sensitive mind on the perspective occupant.
“Because of this, originality consists in
