After completing a master in Business Studies focused on the cultural industries and working for a few years as a consultant, I enrolled in SAIC’s master program in architecture. At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago I have explored the interplay between designed objects, interior architecture and fiber arts. I am passionate about furniture, woodwork, weaving, pattern, materials and tactility within architecture and design. Throughout my studies at SAIC, I have applied my business analysis and experience in change-management to projects that promote community building and involvement through repurposing neighborhood defining spaces and buildings.
