ABOUT I was born in Austin, Texas, and am now a junior at Texas Christian University pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. Art has always been a passion of mine and is what drove me to pursue interior design. Through my design education, I have been able to do the very thing I love, using my artistic background and my increasingly sharpened skills to create projects that reflect my appreciation for design and conceptual understanding.
