INTERIOR DESIGN - Aurora CO DMV Redesign - Collaborator: Israel Garcia

In this project we reimagined the DMV as a space of movement and renewal, Aurora Rising draws inspiration from the celestial dance of the aurora borealis. Instead of the rigid, bureaucratic feel of a traditional DMV, this design transforms the experience into one that is luminous, undulating, and serene, guiding visitors seamlessly through their journey.

INTERIOR DESIGN - Hotel Lobby Design

This project involved designing a hotel using a predetermined floor plan. I developed the concept as a romantic honeymoon destination inspired by Italianate and Spaniards design, focusing on warm materials, elegant details, and an intimate atmosphere. The design emphasizes comfort, luxury, and a timeless romantic aesthetic.

INTERIOR DESIGN - Residential Design: New Orleans 1877 Home

For this residential design project, I selected an 1877 Creole townhouse in New Orleans with a predetermined floor plan and I developed a fictional client to guide the design direction. The interior concept draws from the city’s historic character, blending Old World glamour with the mystique and vibrancy of New Orleans culture. The design balances luxury with eclectic elements to honor the home’s historic roots while creating a bold, expressive living space.

ARCHITECTURE - Live Work Concept - Denver Co - Harvest to The Table - Collaborator : Maya Villalobos

The residency responds to the lack of cultural diversity in the city and the demand for accessibility to generational knowledge. The project showcases a living testament to intergenerational wisdom and fostering a vibrant and inclusive community. The residency combines traditions, herbal practices, and culinary arts, a collaborative effort between a culinary artist and an herbalist. The project fosters a community transcending age and background, valuing, preserving, and sharing wisdom. The project scope consisted of designing both the inhabitants and the subsequent space.This project aims to establish a distinctive residency in Denver, for two different professional types, uniting plant cultivation with culture through traditions, herbal practice, and culinary arts.

FURNITURE DESIGN - Green Tech Furniture Fabrication: Driftline

The Green Tech Project focused on reimagining salvaged materials as functional design objects. The project prioritized hands-on exploration, sustainable fabrication, and understanding the material’s previous life to create something both useful and expressive. Driftline, my live-edge coffee table celebrates the raw elegance of nature, integrating organic forms with contemporary design. The rich grain of the wood highlights its natural imperfections, telling a story of time and growth. Anchoring the piece is a curved metal base, flowing lines echo the table’s natural contours, adding a sense of movement and fluidity. The interplay between the organic and the man-made reflects a harmonious balance bridging the timeless beauty of nature with the innovation of human craftsmanship. Designed to be functional and sculptural, the table encourages tactile engagement, transforming a common household object into a centerpiece that sparks connection and conversation.

CURRENT WORK - STS Home Staging

In my current role at STS Home Staging, I lead residential staging projects from initial concept through final installation. I’ve led 25+ stages and as the lead stager, I coordinate furniture layouts, select décor, and curate furnishings to enhance spatial flow and market appeal. I also assist with furniture assembly and preparation of staging elements in the studio. The moodbaords and images shown here document only a few homes where I served as lead stager, capturing the final layouts and design details.
