My passion for design was evident at an early age, but not in a way that told me Interior Design was the right fit initially. I first began making small crafts with my late aunt. When she came home to visit family it was our thing to always have a craft planned out, she was the one that always embraced my creative side. I was then enrolled in figure skating and found myself choreographing routines and performing for an audience. I believe this is a different form of art, how one’s body moves throughout the space and with the beat of the music while still making it look elegant. My skating career took me to the University of North Dakota where I studied for athletic training, but something was missing, something didn’t feel right. I transferred to South Dakota State University in the fall of 2017 and started taking general courses until I realized I wanted to give interior design a try. Interior design is nothing what I expected but everything I love. It allows me to choreograph people in a space much like skating but in a different way. The psychology behind every decision made interests me and the thought behind every element gives me the story I’ve been searching for.

I assist those seeking design assistance by conveying research-based design and creative thinking. I’ve found that giving a reason behind every element in a design provides an opportunity for each element to tell a story. When these elements come together, they then provide something I like to call The Big Picture. This Big Picture ultimately creates a narrative to those who surround it. It is also an important  social responsibility to ensure sustainable materials and tools are used to create the future of tomorrow.
