I am passionate about the practice of design, about the effect that spaces designed with very particular functions, emotions, and clients in mind can enhance the lives of those who inhabit it. We spend most of our lives indoors, and if I can help to make the places we live, work, and play more exciting, supportive, and inspiring, I'll consider it a professional life well spent. I want to be on the cutting edge of research and understanding, but also as responsive and sensitive as possible to the needs of the client at hand. I'd love to be exposed to as many different types of projects, research, and mentors as possible in my career in order to round out my understanding of the human experience and help make my designs as intuitive and resonant as possible with those who use them.
