How did you get started as a designer?
I have always loved design and history. In high school I worked at antique stores and was fascinated by all the stories each piece embodied. The collectors that came in knew an endless amount of information about the items they collected and I really loved learning from them. At that same time my sister was going to architecture school and I started to think more about the built world. Knowing that I had a love for history, I became interested in adaptive reuse projects and helping buildings come back to life, that is one of the main things that attracted me to a design school that had a strong architecture foundation. My career has evolved and I work on both remodels and new construction projects and I try to bring that depth of history into a fresh modern perspective.
