Fast Facts
My classes are studio based. We typically have a lecture at the beginning of the class discussing specific aspects of interior design, then we transition to in-studio work time where students apply the discussed aspects with my help and direction if needed.
I appreciated the opportunity to guide and inspire future interior design professionals in a Christ centered environment.
There is more to interior design than just arranging furniture and selecting finishes. We are essentially interior architects; we develop functional spaces, create healthy and safe work/living environments, and apply our understanding of aesthetic to meet our clients wants and needs.
I am NCIDQ certified professional and a LEED AP.
I love watching the students learn and grow academically and personally. Seeing the students gain confidence in their work and abilities through my instructions is truly a privilege and gives me a sense of purpose that pushes me to learn and grow as well.
