L E E D G R E E N A S S O C I A T E INTERIOR DESIGN + SUSTAINABILITY
hello. a little bit about myself...
As a child, I thought I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. However, after shadowing medical professionals in high school I discovered that my fascinations laid in human interactions. It became apparent that my true desires were to help others through functional, sustainable, and innovative design leading me to pursue a career as an Interior Designer. Teamwork and collaboration are things I highly value and hope to continue to experience throughout my career.
