bio
a designer [in training]
Growing up around t-squares, prismacolors, trash paper, (and the dreaded amonia-filled blueprint machine), I’ve always had a passion for design. Whether it’s the things we use everyday, the places we visit on vacation, or the spaces we fill with our collections and experiences, we are all a product of design and designers in our own right. After finishing my work in school, I hope to hone my skills and share my talents with others so they might appreciate the quality and value of good design. Alongside my passion for design is also a passion for music. When I’m not in studio, you’ll find me in the music hall, picking out a tune or improvising on the piano. I enjoy playing for weddings and other venues, entertaining people and having fun at the same time. My music collection is diverse - you might hear Debussy, Gershwin, Brubeck, Diana Krall, Madonna, Phoenix, Nicki Minaj, or perhaps a Bieber or two coming out of my iPhone, but I take the most pleasure in listening to artists who truly understand and take pride in their craft - musical “designers” if you will. I’m always up for new experiences and places, and I love to travel. Aside from my own personal excursions, I have been fortunate enough to attend several AIAS conferences, as well as study abroad in Rome two separate times. I cherish the friendships I have made through these experiences and most importantly, the understanding that I have gained that no matter where you’re from, we all want the same things in life: to be happy, to share that happiness with others, and to give something that will endure long after we’re gone. Or, in the words of the great Nat King Cole, to be “Unforgettable.”
