When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a fashion designer. But the pragmatist in me got in the way. Since then, I’ve learned that I love the business and strategy side of creative projects just as much as I love the actual doing.

In my late 20s I was deep in a corporate career that left me unfulfilled. That’s when the light bulb went off: What about interior design? I love that with design the two sides of my personality live in harmony. And better yet, the end product helps people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

In addition to my studies at UCLA Extension, I tap into my decade of PR and marketing experience as a content consultant for social change and arts organizations.

I’m currently available for consulting engagements, as well as design internships and entry-level roles. I anticipate completing my certificate program in fall 2026.
