HIGHER EDUCATION
+ K-12
My portfolio includes projects for higher education and K-12 schools that focus on fostering learning and engagement. I design adaptable classroom layouts that encourage collaboration, while incorporating vibrant colors and comfortable furnishings to create inviting atmospheres. From university lecture halls equipped with the latest technology to playful, interactive spaces for young learners, each project is tailored to enhance the educational experience and inspire creativity.
