With a professionalized bachelors in architecture and a minor in art history, I continuously strive toward finding ways to connect the two fields in my work. I enjoy finding ways to engage in design at a multidisciplinary level, allowing me to approach situations at a macro and micro scale.
I am keen on becoming more experienced with art galleries, exhibition design, interior design, and installations. My overall aim is to convey the various cultures and social attitudes of a city through art and architecture and interiors. I enjoy working in groups composed of like-minded individuals, have no trouble focusing on interesting and forward-thinking projects, and willingly accept challenges that will push me to better myself and those around me.
