Creativity has always been a core part of who I am, from childhood dreams of fashion design and pastry arts to daily expressions through fiber arts, graphic design, and making art with my kids. Motherhood deeply influences my work, shaping both my creative perspective and my interpersonal skills—essential for empathetic, collaborative design. As a full-time parent and student, I’ve mastered time management, problem-solving, and leadership. No matter how busy life gets, I approach every project with perseverance, hard work, and heart.
