Th a n k Y o u

Going from a student at Appalachian State University to my first professional job at BSB Design, INC, I’ve dived into design with hopes of creating things to help others. I was first introduced to design at the age of 13 developing skills in traditional hand-drafting, AutoCAD, and model making. Design is not just about how to create pretty things. It’s about the experience, the environment, and the functionality. I hope to be able to shape other lives with this career. With great work ethic and passion, I’m ready to tackle any design challenge.
