After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from James Madison University in Virginia (2000), I began my architectural journey studying abroad in Vienna, Austria, at the American-Austrian Institute. I was accepted into Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and moved to Los Angeles (2004) to obtain a Masters of Architecture Degree. During these 4 years, I exchanged a semester at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia, and a spent a summer interning in Munich, Germany.
With a diverse background spanning art and architecture, I began my career working at HKS, a large architectural firm in Beverly Hills, CA, gaining experience in luxury commercial and hospitality projects. I then shifted to mid-sized boutique architecture firms in Los Angeles, gaining a more collaborative, personal approach to design before eventually establishing my own design business.
I had the opportunity to join the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angles, California when it was still a start-up electric car company. Leading the graphic design department, I was involved in many different design disciplines and contributed to the company’s branding and visual identity. This diverse experience shaped my multidisciplinary approach to design, critical thinking, creativity, and attention to detail.
As Creative Director at McSwell, I bring together over 20 years of multidisciplinary design experience from graphic design and branding to architecture and interiors. I specialize in shaping creative vision, transforming existing spaces or brands into fresh designs all guided by strategic project management.
