ABOUT

123_1(2).jpg

A passionate creator with international experience and a love for all things design: from steel frames to tabletops and just about everything in between. 

After years of doodling and helping friends pick out "the right" piece, I:

​

... Decided to study Architecture and Studio Arts at the University of Pittsburgh

​

... Interned with sculpture artist Joana Vasconcelos in Lisbon, Portugal collaborating with her and 60 other creatives to bring her ideas to life

​

... Helped clients express their personal style in their home while working at West Elm, in Pittsburgh, PA

​

... Explored the role of digital fabrication in furniture design by using laser cutters and CNC routers to create one-of-a-kind-pieces

​

... Harnessed a love for bringing dream spaces to life along the way.

 

And now, I am continuing to learn about architectural design and construction at Phillips & Donovan Architects, LLC., in Bedminster, PA. Using two-dimensional graphics and three-dimensional modeling tools, I help clients understand how their renovation, addition, or new structure will look so that they feel confident building their dream home. I understand that changes to your home can be intimidating and I want to help clients see how beautiful the design process can be when it is thoughtful and refined.
