About 

 As a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with the Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, I have learned through much perseverance the true meaning of Cal Poly’s motto, “learn by doing”.  As you may know, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is voted best in the west for the architecture program and ranks under top three undergraduate architecture schools in the nation.  My educational background in a hands-on learning environment coupled with other job opportunities I have experienced can enhance the value to any job position.  I am particularly interested in furniture design, an interest that sparked further when I had the honor to exhibit my winning piece at the Design Within Reach in Santa Barbara.  I am set out in the real world of architecture currently, but my simplistic desires to sand a rustic piece of Walnut is undeniable.
