I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Design Studies, with a minor in Urban Planning, from Arizona State University's highly acclaimed design program. This experience gave me a solid foundation in creating intriguing designs and integrating them into varied environments. I learned how design impacts much of our lives and how proficient design can enhance the way we live, work and play. I was accepted into the master's program at the prestigious Academia Italiana in Florence, Italy where I honed my interior and product design capabilities and strengthened my technical skills. I focused on sustainability because of its importance to our environment and where many elements of design are heading. This international experience and a Master's degree in Interior and Product Design broadened my design perspective and intensified my passion for creating spaces that my residential and commercial clients will enjoy for years to come.
