I am a young design professional that looks for artistic inspiration wherever I go. I recently gave up the grey steel colors of New York City for the warm greens and blues of San Diego. I have a grand interest in films, television, photography and other various outlets of art. On my off time, I enjoy snowboarding, volleyball, bike riding, and traveling to new destinations.
