About

I’m a design graduate with five years of project management experience and a high level of proficiency across Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and hard surface modeling. I enjoy collaborating with clients and contractors to explore out-of-the-box design solutions and bring concepts to life in furniture design.

Currently pursuing a B.S. in Industrial Design at Metropolitan State University of Denver (class of 2025) after earning a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Idaho. I have experience in graphic design, architecture, and strategic facilities planning, and I’m excited to continue developing my craft in a creative, furniture-focused environment.
