think. create. inspire.
I am an Urban Revivalist.
I work within spaces that may not be considered “typical,” transforming them into designs that are not only aesthetically compelling but, most importantly, functional. My work spans many forms—spatial design, graphics, visual installations, and more—each shaped by the client’s needs and the specific context of the project. My work as a freelance designer focuses on demographic-led interiors, where people & place matter. I enjoy creating something out of nothing and exploring how to tackle challenges in a tangibly.
This collection showcases iterative design processes and reflects close collaboration on a range of customized freelance projects. Installation images are unavailable due to privacy standards; however, curated client assets of my schematic process & design development are here for exploration.

FEATURED DESIGN ARCHIVE
>GLOW STUDIOS | COMMERCIAL DESIGN
Design Description:
This design is client-driven, wanting to see their esthetician studio lounge to come to life with the power of pink. By using layering with an overly feminine color dialogue, we create simple extravagance with wipe-down finishes that still fit the commercial space's needs. Gold accents here are used to show luxury and black-framed furniture grounds each seating zone. Let’s get pretty!

>ALMACÉN | RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Design Description:
This design creates industrial loft living into a warm experience with an intimate zone for a creative provocateur who loves culture. Using warm woods, a Ganadio-inspired palette, and a mix of textures, we transform what once was a hard shell into moments to dwell in, challenging pattern & position.

>MISEDUCATION | RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Design Description:
This design takes an old school classroom and turns it into a creative living space that highlights modern art, bold colors, and a cheeky play on how a “classroom” should inspire. We keep the original hardwood floors and add furniture zoning for an open concept programmatic distinction, focusing on texture. Concept-inspired music album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
