About Me
I am a lover of the built environment.
My passion for design started at an early age playing Sims, forcing my sisters to play the game so I could design their houses using graphing paper. This passion has been nurtured with 12 years of education from Architecture, Interior Design, and a Master in Interior Architecture.
Simultaneously pursuing a college degree and starting my design career has taught me the value of good organization, time management, and discipline. Now with more than a decade in the industry, I have significant experience in all the phases of design.
​
I believe that architecture and design constantly evolves and adapts, I am committed to keep learning and growing in the industry.
