Summary

I am a well-rounded and passionate young designer looking to improve the built environment for everyone. I have a strong passion for inclusive design beyond the standards. I am a highly focused and detail-oriented individual who thrives in high-energy team environments with people who are just as excited as me to go to work every day. In design I like to consider all possible factors - human behavior, safety, wellness, innovation, and community improvement - before setting about to create a functional and aesthetically fulfilling design.
