About Me
I am Chicago born and raised and I started my journey in interior design with little knowledge in the field itself. My passion for interior design grew through the teachings from professors and interior designers on how design can change someone’s life and even change the world. As I began to grow and learn in design, I started with changing the spaces of friends and family. When I became a interior designer I started to actually see how the smallest details to the largest details can magnify a space! Seeing clients excited and at a loss for words on how a room can be changed motivates me more everyday to continue to love what I do in design and its ever changing trends!
WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY? OR WHERE DO YOU FIND DESIGN INSPIRATION?
My design philosophy comes from growing up in Chicago, moving to Texas and Puerto Rico and experiencing the different cultures and meanings that a space can have to a client and finding ways to express that. I’m a designer who loves to take an approach to design being creative yet still functional to the space. Whether it’s a room to entertain or a room to relax, I strive to create a design that not only serves a purpose but will exceed their expectations through different and aesthetically pleasing views.
