Transitioning from a decade-long career in software development, I am now focused on interior design to directly engage with the spaces and people my work influences. I love translating technical problem-solving skills into human-centered design, shaping environments that balance function, aesthetics, and comfort. With training in an MFA in Interior Design from the New York School of Interior Design and a background in Computer Science, I approach projects with curiosity, collaboration, and a proactive mindset. I aim to apply design thinking to residential and hospitality spaces, using tools like Revit, AutoCAD, and Photoshop to visualize ideas and communicate clearly.
