I am a Design Intern with my Masters Degree in Architecture, a Renaissance Woman, an Improviser, and a Recovering Perfectionist. Observation fuels my writing, mindful sensitivity aids my design, practical restraint keeps me grounded. Life is the basis for my professional experience, as I have lived among the silky African sand dunes of the Sahara, the snow-filled prairie of the North Dakota hinterlands and the metropolitan concrete jungle. I adapt to change, thrive when challenged and strive for visual perfection. I am passionate about what I do and these publications are meant to give that passion a platform to display my essence while I work on advancing my career goals.
