I was originally drawn into the field of interior design by a deep awareness of how profoundly space can influence the quality of life, spiritual, emotional, and even physical wellbeing of the persons experiencing it, living, working, or even passing through it. Through my journey as a designer over the last few years, a combination of educational as well as professional projects have taught me how to use space to better serve these purposes, and it is with a great love for design that I enjoy using space, light, materials, furniture and color to make an environment effective, enjoyable, inspiring, functional and beautiful. I have had the privilege over the course of my life to not only experience great architecture and design, but to also personally know and observe some of the most personally awe-inspiring architects and designers of our day. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to join this community, and it is a challenge and standard of excellence that I will strive to live up to through my own work.
