Design is my fuel. With over eight years of experience in the architecture industry, I am a passionate and creative Architectural Associate & Interior Designer based in Chicago, Illinois. After receiving my M-Arch from the University of Michigan, I continue to explore a multitude of technical & problem-solving skills relevant to this ever-evolving design industry. I have worked with diverse and talented teams of architects, interior designers, and engineers to deliver high-quality and innovative projects for clients across various sectors - workplace interiors, education, residential, and even industrial - just to name a few. I have contributed to the design and development of several award-winning and sustainable buildings, such as the LEED-certified 500 N Milwaukee mixed-use high rise, as well as adaptive reuse of an industrial factory turned performing arts center, BandWith Chicago. I have also developed strong project management skills, as I have successfully coordinated and supervised multiple projects from inception to completion, ensuring that they meet the budget, schedule, and preliminary design goals. I am driven by the mission of seeing architecture beyond a physical form of a building, but instead, an opportunity to create or enhance a human experience.
