CJBiography

Born and raised in Chicago, I moved to the suburbs for high school, and eventually came back to Chicago for college. I am always a ball of energy, that delights myself in my craft. I laugh hard and work harder. Design to me is a blank canvas and I hold the paint brushes. There are no limits in design, which is where I feel the most freedom. It allows me to explore avenues I wouldn’t usually take in any other fields. I believe you know you are passionate about something, when you can spend all day doing it and not think of leaving or having the feeling of “Is time to go home yet?”. My journey so far has had it’s challenges, but one thing I know for sure, I was born to do this. While in school I worked at Crate and Barrel for two years. During the second year at Crate and Barrel, I also worked at Artistic Tile as an intern. After I graduated school I landed my first job at Porcelanosa, a tile retailer. I stayed there for a year and discovered that my passion resides in design work. I love Cad, 3D modeling and render-ing. So I applied to the Gettys Group and worked with them as an intern. I was able to work on different projects, doing exactly what I love to do. I always dreamed of being an interior designer. It’s a passion that is very hard to explain without coming across as weird. I can only describe in so many words how it makes me feel. I can literally sit for hours producing plans and 3D models. It’s something that makes me feel somehow special, that my art and my work matters. It is something that is so precious and so personal. I always strive to get it right the first time. I have to at all times give 150% because this is what makes me feel extraordinary. I see myself working hard, starting small and progressive-ly working my way up.
