Hands-on home renovation projects have provided opportunities to apply problem-solving, design thinking, and craftsmanship to create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces. From structural improvements to fine details, each project required adaptability, research, and skill-building. Whether troubleshooting unexpected challenges or refining finishing techniques, these projects reinforced the value of attention to detail, patience, and iterative learning.

Exploring studio art has been a means of pushing creative boundaries, developing technical skills, and engaging with humor and storytelling through visual mediums. With a background in art history and design, these works reflect an appreciation for narrative, context, and cultural critique, bringing playfulness and thoughtful commentary into the creative process. While never considering myself a traditional artist, my experience at Kendall College of Art and Design cultivated a deeper understanding of visual communication and craft.
