Who do you look up to and why?

I look up to my four coworkers on the interior design team because from the moment I started they were always happy to share their knowledge, advice and experience to help me learn and grow as a designer.

‍

What book is on your nightstand?

Kingdom of Ash, the final book in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

‍

What type/niche of design are you most passionate about?

I really enjoy design that has a historical aspect to it, whether it’s a building that played an important role in a community’s history or a project that allows me to incorporate historical details that help to add character to a space.
