WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE.
ABOUT ME
I’m a recent graduate with a comprehensive degree in interior design and product design from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I’m a fast learner with a creative mindset, able to develop innovative designs and deliver on time.
My experiences as an interior design intern at Goodlife Architecture, an architectural drafter/designer at Mead Lumber, and an IIDA liaison have given me insight into both the residential and commercial sides of the industry. These opportunities have allowed me to advance my industry software skills and discover my personal passions within the design/architecture profession. I want to use my skills to design cutting-edge spaces that improve the functionality, sustainability, and excitement of the built environment. I’m incredibly eager to experience all that the world of design has to offer as well as to show the design world what I have to offer.
INTERESTS
Art
I have always had an undeniable love for art. Throughout my education, I chose to enroll in art courses whenever given the opportunity. Art allows me to showcase my creativity and detail-oriented nature.
Psychology
I have always been curious about the human mind. I find myself constantly analyzing interactions between people and their responses to the environment around them– including my own. As I enter a building I think…what makes this space so cool? What makes it work for people? And, what doesn’t? I am a strategic thinker who loves finding solutions that can improve people’s well being and comfort–one of the biggest reasons I chose to pursue interior design.
Graphic Design
Graphic design intrigues me because I am able to capture ideas through graphics–to tell a story–without the need for words. Different hierarchies of elements, colors, layouts, or images are able to communicate different messages. I believe that graphic design is incredibly important in the field of interior design because content can lose all value without a strong graphical presentation to convey it.
SOFTWARE
The graph to the right highlights the vital interior design programs that I have learned. Along with these I am proficient in Microsoft programs (ex. Word, Powerpoint, basic Excel) and other Adobe Suite programs (ex. Indesign). I am self-taught in 2020 Design, Bluebeam and rendering software such as V-ray and SU podium. In free time I have also learned web development in Wix, Weebly, and WordPress. I am self-motivated and always eager to expand my skills and learn new programs.

PROJECTS
01
COMMERCIAL DESIGN
Software used: Revit & Enscape
Commercial is an avenue of design that I’ve always been drawn to. My favorite aspect of commercial design is the diversity of project types and goals. With each new project comes the opportunity to push yourself as a designer– not only creatively but also to continually adapt to the ever-evolving design industry itself. A successful commercial design is more than solely creating a beautiful space; It has the power to reflect a company’s values, enhance flexibility, create an engaging experience, promote collaboration, attract potential customers to drive a company’s success, aid in expansion, and create a more comfortable and functional environment for its employees and its clientele.

RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Software used: Revit, Enscape, SketchUp, AutoCAD & SU Podium
I enjoy large-scale residential projects that challenge me to develop creative solutions to clients everyday problems. My position at Mead Lumber allowed me to meet a wide array of wonderful people and share in their excitement as they watch what were once just ideas, transform into the home they’ve always dreamed of. My work in the office and on job sites allowed me to become a more conscientious designer with consideration to the building process and feasibility of a design solution beyond what works on paper.

HAND RENDERINGS
Hand rendering interior spaces allows me to combine my love for art with my passion for design. The following are a collection of my interior design sketches as well as my personal art pieces. I enjoy realism but have also experimented with cartoons, technical drawings, and abstract paintings. My favorite thing about drawing is seeing the growth with each new project and I am excited to continue improving my skills.
