What I love most about designing is that the possibilities are endless and every project has its own personality. Each new project is a new challenge. I never get bored during the designing process which evokes a passion for discovering new ideas and innovative solutions to design problems. With a well-rounded design background, with experience in several different areas of design, such as working at a residential design firm, for a commercial and residential real estate development company, and specifying for an upcoming commercial furniture supplier. I am adaptable to any type of design.
