/about me


I’ve always been drawn to good design. After time in the graphic design and business worlds, I decided to follow design and focus on lighting and architecture. The mix of my early experiences, along with years spent deep in the technical side of lighting design, lets me see projects from both the creative and practical angles.
​
I joined Sladen Feinstein Integrated Lighting in 2015 after earning my Master’s in Interior Architecture and Design from the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University, and became an Associate in 2023. My background in graphic design still shapes how I think about light, space, and the way people experience them.
​
I like solving problems through clear, thoughtful design—balancing fixture selection, layout, and details with the mood and purpose of each space. My work spans retail, multi-family residential, corporate, academic, and historic projects, many recognized with industry awards.​ I also believe green design isn’t a trend; it’s simply responsible.
And when I’m not deep in drawings or photometrics, I’m probably in the kitchen—cooking, eating, and repeating.
