I am a graduate of the University of Georgia and am looking for an entry level position in the field of Interior Design.

     I am motivated, dedicated and looking forward to working with other professionals such as project designers, architectural assistants, facility planners and other designers in the ever evolving and always exciting field of interior design.

     Interior design is like music to me. I believe a focal point or well-placed custom piece catches our attention and draws us in. Rhythm, repetition of shapes, measurement and placement keep tempo while color and the flow of space give harmony to the whole. Just as music can soothe or excite us so should the environment that surrounds us.

     Using light and shadow, space and form, color and texture I endeavor to create an environment unique to the client that will reflect what they wish to portray. A design should be unique but memorable, timeless and yet in the moment. My design philosophy is to create an environment for the client which will evoke a feeling and mood that the client will rejoice in and wish to revisit time and time again. Just as one enjoys listening to a favorite song or piece of music so should one feel when living or working in a space that has been created with their needs, wants and personality in mind.
