When I'm not designing, I draw inspiration from my fine arts background, traveling to explore architecture, art, and the visual culture of different places. I enjoy painting and discovering new perspectives with my husband and our twins, whose curiosity and energy continue to inspire the way I see the world.

Selected projects available upon request.
