As an emerging senior at the Fashion Institute of Technology, I expect to earn my BFA in Interior Design with a minor in Sustainability and Ethics in spring 2027. I believe good design goes deeper than aesthetics and function—the key to successful design is creating spaces that are inclusive, authentic, and built to last. When we design with everyone in mind, we create spaces that foster stronger, happier communities.

My approach to design is rooted in intention, curiosity, and efficiency. I believe spaces should be beautiful and maximal, but without purpose and authenticity, design loses its meaning. I have a strong appreciation for mid-century modernism and its belief that form follows function, but I’m interested in pushing that philosophy further. I would describe my style as mid-century meets eclectic: sleek forms balanced with playful patterns, saturated colors, rich textures, and most importantly, comfort.

Fascinated by history, culture, and travel, I often look to people, nature, and the places I encounter for inspiration. Studying in Italy and spending a gap year in France have shaped the way I see design, exposing me to new ways of living and creating. My appetite for travel continues to grow, and I’m excited for all the places and perspectives I have yet to discover.

With a genuine love for people and connection, pursuing a career in hospitality design feels like a natural fit. I am passionate about using the language of design to create spaces where people feel seen, welcomed, and at ease.
