Starting my career in the dental niche I learned immensely about technical drafting skills, developed different practice designs through initial schematics to construction documents including cabinetry shop drawings and MEPs. As my first design job there were manifold challenges, but I soon realized my detail oriented eye thrived. Earlier on, I had worked in the service industry for 5+ years during secondary education which taught me great verbal and written communication skills. During my masters program I began project managing interior construction. It made me grow into a better team player, problem-solver, multitasker and cultivated my methodical approach in the field. Living abroad in Europe for three years is where my adaptability skills were cultured and solidified my love for design since 2009.
