about me

With a desire to integrate practical expertise, interpersonal skills, and creative expression, I found my passion in Interior Design. My academic journey began at West Valley College in 2020, where I built a foundation in design principles before transferring to San José State University in Spring 2023. I graduate in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design.

Throughout my studies, I developed a strong interest in storytelling through design, exploring materiality, color, and form while considering user experience and community context.

A year-long internship at Gensler’s San Jose office strengthened my skills in material palettes, conceptual diagrams, spatial planning, and high-quality renderings.

In my free time, I love doing karaoke, going to museums, watching any type of movie or tv show, and traveling the world.
