Interior Design

Art and Design has been my passion ever since I was a child. This was when I got exposed to traveling the world and inspecting the great detail that goes into each art piece, from graffiti to the fine art pieces in museums. I continued to develop this fascination in the art field until I entered VCU. Two key inspirations that were on the back of my mind were Mies Van Der Rohe and Zaha Hadid. Minimalist design and curvy parametric architecture reflect my own personality because they both reflect similar principals of mine. Some of the challenges that I faced are for example the introduction of new softwares. It was difficult at the start but as time passed by, my skills got better and my design skills improved.
