As an illustrator, I’ve always loved creating architectural renderings and elevations. As my design journey evolved into the world of automotive interiors, I began applying my CMF (Color, Material, and Finish) design skills to translate ideas and concepts into residential and commercial spaces. Working with MarxModa in Detroit and Pure Workplace in Kansas City gave me incredible opportunities to collaborate on projects for A.I.A. and I.I.D.A.

While going through recovery from a knee tumor, I began pursuing my Master’s in Architecture—a period that deepened my appreciation for design even further. Although I eventually had to withdraw from the program due to additional surgeries and recovery time, the experience strengthened my passion for architecture and inspired me to continue learning and creating on my own terms.

When I wasn’t working professionally, I continued to channel that same creativity into personal projects for friends and family—bridging my love for illustration, materials, and spatial design into every environment I touched.
