About

A well rounded designer with decades of experience, I bring a varied skillset and a discerning perspective to my work.  I cut my teeth as designer in theaters, dark windowless rooms waiting to be filled with art and light, learning laboratories of design. As an interior designer, I am well versed in the history and technologies that apply to modern design.  I have earned an Associate's Degree in Interior Design from Bellevue College, a Bachelor's Degree from University of Washington in Drama (scenic design), and spend a summer at The School for Constructed Environments at Parsons, The New School for Design.  My design is thoughtful and approachable, as I view design as a service to others. I also have an extensive background in architectural materials, with over five years of experience developing products for a materials manufacturer. I hold two design and four process patents for a line of ceiling tiles that I invented.
