ABOUTME
I am a May 2023 graduate from Indiana University, and have a Bachelors of Science in Interior Design. I have also started the process of becoming NCIDQ and LEED certified.
My passion for design sparked from a young age, when my mother would find me locked away in my room for hours building entire cities and homes on the floor with nothing but construction paper and tape. From then on, I’ve found myself with a strong interest in interior architecture and design.
After my four years in college combined with internships and outside experience, I have been familiarized with the different scopes of design such as commercial and residential, with specifics in hotels, hospitals, office buildings, and townhouses. I am confident in my skills as a new graduate, and am eager to experience more and expand my knowledge in the design world

Trees provide us with oxygen. They provide us a place to sit in the shade. Trees provide birds a place to settle their nests. They give a home to insects and other animals. As trees grow, they continue to aid us in our own growth as well.
-phil- is creating their first project based in the United States, and has tasked us with designing their 5 business occupants. I have chosen to create the designs for the LGBTQ+ Youth Housing Center, HomeGrown. Their design philosophy hones the idea of growth and the ability to better the well-being of the each individual, and hope to do this with each of their spaces.
This space, like a tree, gives all who enter a place to call home, and aids in the ability to grow.
