I’M ORiGiNALLY FROM SHREVEPORT, LOUiSiANA, WHERE THE RiCH CULTURE OF MY HOMETOWN iNSPiRED MY CREATiViTY FROM A YOUNG AGE. I BEGAN WiTH BAKiNG, TURNiNG CAKES iNTO ARTiSTiC EXPRESSiONS, AND LATER FOUND A LASTiNG LOVE FOR PAiNTiNG AND MAKiNG ART. I STUDiED ARCHiTECTURE WiTH MiNORS iN iNTERiOR DESiGN, CONSTRUCTiON MANAGEMENT, AND ARCHiTECTURAL HiSTORY, DRiVEN BY A DESiRE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW SPACES ARE BUiLT. I'VE WORKED ON PROJECTS iN LOUiSiANA, IDAHO, AND CALiFORNiA—EACH WiTH iTS OWN LANDSCAPE AND LESSONS. I’M ALWAYS EAGER TO LEARN AND EXCiTED TO CONTiNUE GROWiNG iN A NEW CiTY.

iN ORDER TO BEST DESIGN FOR THE COMMUNITY, YOU MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND WHO THEY ARE. DOWNTOWN BATON ROUGE IS A VIBRANT AREA OF LOUISIANA’S STATE CAPITOL. WITH LOTS OF BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS AND ATTRACTIONS IT IS A GREAT LOCATION FOR A MODERN OFFICE BUILDING TO HOUSE AN EMERGING COMPANY AND ITS EMPLOYEES.
THOSE RESPONSiBLE FOR CATERiNG, WEEKLY TRASH REMOVAL, AND EVENT SERViCES. THE WORKiNG ViSiTORS SERViCE THE BUiLDiNG DURING SELECT TIMES ONLY AND VISIT WHEN NEEDED FOR SPECIFIC TASKS.
