About me
I recently graduated from the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design. I like learning new things that expose me to fresh perspectives. I love gaining new experiences through traveling, meeting new people, and music, which inspires me creatively as well. Being at SCAD has fostered those pursuits, and now that I’m done with the first chapter of my journey, I’m excited to begin chapter two.

“The idea of TRANSFORMATIVE TRAVEL is taking shape, meaning that since affluent travelers have been to many places and own many products, travel needs to continue to stimulate and engage.”

The three mirrors in a KALEIDOSCOPE create different shapes when looking through it; this leads you to view different forms. The concept of looking through a kaleidoscope can be translated into experiencing different views of life. Reflective materials like polished metals and mirrors, constant movement of cast shadows from daylight, and interesting patterns will be prominent design feature in this space. These moments will lead the user to experience the feeling of kaleidoscope.

H&M Headquarter office Conscious Foundation Department Savannah, GA Collaboration project We developed concept together and each of us were responsible for own floor design.
The concept was inspired by local Savannah.
Fågelbo is bird’s nest in Swedish. H&M’s values are driven by guiding and helping grow new creative minds and talents. Focusing on the emotional significance of the nest and its fiscal structure to reinforce the essential character of the space. The interior elements will express the company’s strong sense of family. Community and the Swedish culture within an office space where unity is empowered in order to enhance success.
