From Studio to Practice: Closing the Chapter at SDSU

Graduation is more than just a ceremony; for me, it represents the culmination of countless hours spent at SDSU refining my eye for space, light, and human interaction. Looking back at my time in the Interior Architecture program, I’ve realized that the most valuable lesson wasn’t just how to draft a floor plan, but how to design for the people who inhabit them.

As I transition to the team at DLR Group, I’m carrying these lessons forward. The move from the "what if" of student projects to the "how" of professional practice is an exciting challenge. This site will serve as a home for that journey—a place to document the materials I’m discovering, the site visits that inspire me, and the evolution of my work as a designer.
