I grew up in Indianapolis with the best children's museum in the country, initiating a love for museums that never stopped. Chicago is a great hub for museums, but it took me visiting home to realize this is what I want to do with my passion for design. Growing up in theatre production1, I have always loved finding unique and creative ways to convey stories and experiences with others, designing for people.2
