    “Design is a recently discovered dream of mine. I’m thankful to be in a well established design program; I enjoy and look forward to every moment I am in my studio classroom. I hope to be a strong designer, one who puts the needs of others first and creates practical, memorable, and meaningful spaces with my team.”
