INTERIOR DESIGN
Hello, and thanks for stopping by! I am a recent graduate of Virginia Tech, pursuing a career in Interior Design. I have found passion in connecting my interior work to the exterior and further into the surrounding location. My goal is to not only design a sustainable space, but to create a sustainable relationship with the community.
