Why PCA? I think PCA supports young professionals. Also, the culture at PCA helps build a better relationship with colleagues.
I’m drawn to design because it gives us a better way of living and understanding ourselves.

Materials that excite me are wood, which offers warmth and an essential attachment to nature, and concrete, which creates authentic space and clean lines.
My favorite aspect of working with clients is learning about their goals, which inspires me to deliver better results.

If I were a Pantone swatch, my color would be Ultra Black.
