About
I bring real-world, high-stakes professional experience to design. I’ve managed complex projects with tight deadlines, cross-functional teams, and client collaboration on multi-hundred-million-dollar contracts for companies including Walmart and Adobe. I understand that projects rarely go exactly as planned and I’m comfortable adapting quickly, thinking critically, and finding smart solutions when constraints shift.After earning a computer engineering degree from the University of Maryland and spending four years as a technical program manager at Microsoft, I’m pivoting toward my true passion: interior design. My background has trained me to work seamlessly across engineers, designers, and clients balancing creative vision with real-world constraints, budgets, and timelines.I bring technical fluency, an artistic background, strong collaboration skills, and a relentless appetite for learning. I’m actively seeking opportunities as a design assistant or intern in the DC area, where I can contribute meaningfully while continuing to grow. This site will evolve as my portfolio develops.
AutoCAD Floor Plans
I'm proficient in creating room models in AutoCAD. On this page, you can see examples of my work. Additionally, I'm currently enrolled in an 18 class certificate program through UCLA. I'll be focusing on Photoshop/Illustrator for this winter quarter. This website will be updated as new content becomes available.
