Over the last 8 years I have worked in a vast variety of design related industries which have cultivated me into the person you need for the job. Let me elaborate. What began as an architectural endeavor at USC, sculpted me into a person who can design just about anything we can come up with. My background encompasses custom stages for festivals, building homes for personal clients, one of a kind interior treatments at some of the largest universities all over the United States, and especially sustainably sourcing unique events for a variety of themes. My wide breadth of work has all been interconnected to create my unique skill set that can work through a project by visualizing the end goal and working backwards on how to do such a task. The specialty that I bring to the table is my deep love for sustainability and people’s budgets. These are two very real driving factors in today’s industry and I know how to conceptualize out of the box ideas using materials never thought of. I would love to sit down with you and tell you more about the time I spent a month in a field building a festival from the ground up, or how I am now running an event planning business that creates architectural pieces to bring any vision to life. If you can think of it, I can draw it, render it, and build it. Where I come from and what I bring to the table will be something you will not regret. I can’t wait to build with you.
