Art and design has always been my passion. Whether through the physical act of making, designing a small detail for a bespoke interior object, or imagining the architectural and interior design of an entire residence; I have been obsessed with creating art, furniture, and interior environments that capture the unique ambiguity of the poetic, romantic, and the minimal. In my opinion, good design is a delicate balance between the reductive, the seductive, the comedic, and the equality between form and function.
Before asserting my direction as an interior architect and designer, I first and foremost am an artist. Studying classical techniques of drawing, photography, painting, and sculpture as well as art and architectural history, I began applying these principles and historic references to architecture and interior design.
As a graduate of both Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) where I received a BFA with a focus on interior architecture and architectural history, I began by honing technique and craft in both fine art and architectural design. After graduation and proceeded by a tenure at two high-end residential interior design and architectural firms, I decided to create a design consulting business providing support in design detailing, finish selections, furniture, art, and lighting curation to architectural drafting and detailing. Supplementing work in architectural and design consulting, I have also created a fulfilling art practice- focusing on material experimentation, historical reproduction of period rooms in miniature, sculpture from found metal and raw semi-precious stones, and the design of bespoke furniture and objects.
