WHAT LED YOU INTO THE DESIGN | ARCHITECTURE FIELD:​
I grew up in L.A. and being around the film industry made me want to pursue design and creating spaces that felt cinematic. My grandparents were a huge influence as well, they were antique dealers and would take me to vintage furniture, toy and fashion trade shows around L.A., they also had amazing taste and furniture from MCM through 1970's pieces in their home. In high school I would take Saturday classes at Pasadena Art Center in Environmental Design which led to me going to Otis College of Art and Design for my B.F.A in Environmental Design and eventually led to my career in hospitality design.
