I was born and raised in San Francisco and have only lived away from here for the four years I attended Architecture School at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I loved studying architecture as it taught me so much about materials and process and how to be concrete and aware of each and every step you are taking from beginning rough ideas to a finalized design. I drove back home to San Francisco the day after I finished school and knew I would stay. I received my graduate degree in Design at California College of the Arts in 2009 and loved every minute of that as well. My artistic mom always encouraged my art, as well as two great-grandfathers who were an architect and an illustrator. We had a closet full of art materials, painting and collaging were my favorite pastimes. Many days were spent filling up the dining room table and covering all available floor space with projects and paintings set out to dry. When friends would come over to play and ask what we should do I always felt a bit confused because in my mind the only option was some sort of art project.
