Profile
This is me
I grew up traveling and living overseas which gave me a superior eye for design and style. I have been working in the industry since my first internship when I was 15 years old at a local residential firm where I first taught myself AutoCAD. I am empathetic, which allows me to hone in on the vision and desires of clients and enables me to deliver solutions, suggestions and advice. Additionally I am a watercolor illustrator and I started selling my illustrations in 2017.
