About 

I'm a Los Angeles based designer with a professional background in film and architectural design.

Born and raised outside of Philadelphia -- Go Eagles! -- I graduated from Howard University's School of Architecture and moved west to advance my career as a designer. Amidst my developing architectural career, I wanted to further challenge myself and open my creative aspirations to my love for Production Design within film and entertainment. 

Every day, I seek new ways to challenge my imagination and deepen my passion for storytelling in design.
