Designer

Iowa State University - Bachelors of fine arts in Interior Design

Growing up near historic Riverside, Illinois, a town designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (designer of Central Park NYC) I have always been surrounded by historic homes and buildings of historic significance. Having a contractor as a father also exposed me to the design/ construction process at a young age. All of these factors combined to spark an interest in buildings for me. Especially when I traveled to other countries, where I was exposed to different styles of art, culture and architecture.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors either hiking, camping, or even rowing competitively, I also enjoy traveling when I can and exploring new places or coffee shops. Other hobbies include photography and piano. When traveling I enjoy photographing landscapes, unique buildings or portraits of friends. If I happen to be in town on a weekend, I like to spend time with friends and family trying new restaurants.
