Hello! I am a designer with a multidisciplinary background spanning work in 20th and 21st century galleries, museum curatorial research, and graduate-level design training. I hold a Master's degree in Interior Studies, Adaptive Reuse from the Rhode Island School of Design, with a focus on historic preservation and hand-based approaches to design. My work consists of interior design, furniture-sculpture collage, sourcing, and curation, all driven by a desire to understand how the built environments around us came to be. I'm currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
