Summary

As someone with a deep passion for creative exploration and a curiosity for interior design, I thrive on projects that challenge artistic boundaries. My work focuses on merging function and beauty, using textiles and ceramics to transform spaces and elevate everyday experiences. I am eager to contribute my skills in design, fabrication, and material research to a larger mission and believe my ability to balance artistic expression with functional design can align with a variety of different goals and missions.
