CAREER 1

ATLANTA IS MY HOMETOWN. AFTER A YEAR STUDYING URBAN DESIGN IN PARIS, I'VE REALIZED THE INEVITABLE. Little has changed since my dollhouse days. My love for architecture and urban design defines who I am. I aspire to start an urban revolution! The design world is forever changing, what more than to make a big change? I have learned that to strive for utopia is to ultimately fail. My aim is not for perfection but to take the practical needs of people and place and offer a new way of living that is both environmentally and economically friendly. My ideas always end on the notion of better public transportation, smarter growth, and public space. I want to help plan and design a new Atlanta. Radical ideas are still possible ideas. Being involved is crucial to experiencing what life has to offer.

CAREER 2

SOMETIMES LIFE HANDS YOU A CURVED BALL. LIFE HANDS ME A CURVED BALL EVERYDAY. FROM THIS, I HAVE DISCOVERED HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TO BE IN THE DESIGN FIELD. I SEE MYSELF OPENING A DESIGN & CONSULTING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN MOBILITY & ACCESSIBILITY. I WANT TO IMPROVE THE LIVES AFFECTED BY UNFORSEEN LIFE CHANGES. BY CREATING A MORE SUPPORTIVE TRANSITION, PEOPLE+PLACE CAN SIMPLY BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE DISABLED, CAREGIVERS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY. THIS MAKES ME SMILE.
