What I'm looking for

I’m particularly interested in creating functional, calming, and visually cohesive environments where design supports comfort, safety, and wellbeing, especially in healthcare settings.

As a freelance interior designer, I curated a furniture and finish package around materials and cohesive aesthetics for a wholesome, healing environment. I managed the project from concept through construction and made on-site visits to ensure the design intent was maintained.

At Smith Interior Design, I contributed original design solutions to active projects and helped shape model homes across four residential communities. I produced CAD drawings, floor plans, and 3D visualizations, and partnered with vendors and tradesmen on pricing and product details.

My interior design education is complemented by an associate's degree in General Studies with a medical focus and nursing exposure. I’m particularly interested in functional, calming spaces where design supports comfort, safety, and wellbeing.
