I have taken an interior design commercial and residential course

to both strengthen my knowledge and skills creating a bigger

better design. My conceptually elegant and modernistic design

easily translates into details that best reflect the desired layout.

All of my studies have gone to working in the field of design

in both architectural and interior level. As required, I am well

versed and many computer software programs; Autocad, Goo-

gle Sketchup, all Adobe design suites and other 3D rendering

software and have the capability to learn more if required. I am

a well-organized and diligent worker, who takes any problem as

a challenge.

I also have taken an internship at Glukstien Design. There I have

learned the basic operations of the firm and the respect in mate-

rial, layout and overall design must be. With hiring me, my fresh

and young ideas can help liven up new concepts and opinions to

any projects. I am very opinionated and bring attention to per-

fecting my work. My self-motivated and energetic character also

reflects onto my work by ensuring above and beyond designs.

Using and already existing building on

Bulwer St. with a client I designed based

on their personal life style and habits.

After interviewing the client involving

their personal life is very private. With

connections to intimacy and her hobbies I

played with level and layers of connection

around the home. The circulation was

determined by the placement of rooms

and social purposes. interior of the loft is

a modern minimalist style using textures

and materials to layout the intimacy.

Using the concept art it projects

an abstract sense of interior de-

sign of the penthouse, dynamic,

pop edge colours and modern-

istic. Going for high end design

all furniture chosen are high end

styles with edgy pop texture.

The colour palettes in each room

plays on balancing the neutrals

with a vibrant colour highlighting

a section in each room. With min-

imalistic furniture patterns are

able to stand out and bring life

movement to the area.

The concept was adventure. This was a group project, each member was

given a section to the hotel to work on. My section was to work on the

eatery restaurant, lounge, and café. Because the concept was all about ad-

venture I played on the idea of adventure as a journey through exploration

and discovery. Bocci is a minimalistic modern lighting company with ex-

Queen Piece

Pocket Watch

The concept of this pocket watch

came from an old hand made pocket

watch. It was the idea of elegance

and detailing into a small object. I

worked on takin advantage of adding

enough detail onto the watch which

The queen chess piece takes

the of a regal objective char-

acter. Throwing in tiny details

on the crown and around the

neck she is standing on clas-

sical columns with the quote

“long may she reign” etched at

the bottom. This piece shows

dominance & power with some

feminist feature.

All 3D models were done us-

ing Rhino with a plugin Brazil,

which adds realistic depth and

texture to the object. only two

of the projects were printed,

the Queen chess piece &

Pocket Watch.

As a collaboration of OCADU and University of Toronto, stu-

dents team up on a 4 month project developing concepts into

C�YQTMKPI�ICOG��6JG�ƂPCN�ICOG�YCU�RTGUGPVGF�VQ�VJG�RWDNKE�CV�an event in Design Exchange Museum, called Level Up, along

with other universities.

This game is called Photosynthequest, the object is to collect

light dispersed around an old abandon laboratory. The twist

is you are playing as a vine seeking light as source of surviv-

al. Each person had a role in developing this game, my role

was level developer and modeling. everything modeled in the

game was done by my self but the textures in the game and

graphic was done by a graphic design member. The layout of
