During my nearly four years at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga’s Interior Architecture and Design program, I have been driven by a passion for creating spaces that evoke comfort, beauty, and most of all - a sense of belonging. From my earliest experiences moving around the Middle East and Asia, I’ve known the importance of crafting environments that feel like ‘home,’ no matter how unfamiliar the surroundings may be. My foundation in residential design has taught me how thoughtful design can truly enhance people’s lives by making spaces both meaningful and sustainable.

As my journey continues, my passion extends from residential to the dynamic world of hospitality design, where I aim to create commercial spaces that not only serve a functional purpose but also provide memorable, enriching experiences for all kinds of guests. I believe that each space - whether a cozy home or a bustling hotel lobby - has the potential to bring comfort and connection.

To me, being a designer means embracing the responsibility to shape the future through thoughtful, inclusive, and intentional design. With credentials like the WELL AP and a commitment to earning my NCIDQ, I am dedicated to deepening my focus on health, wellness, and safety, while also promoting diversity and inclusion in every project. I see design as a powerful tool for positive change, and I am excited to contribute to spaces that enhance well-being, elevate experiences, and inspire connection.
