Winning Project Description: 

For The Sterling Hotel I drew inspiration from Providence's rich history of jewelry manufacturing and silversmithing. The building is seven stories and features a grand lobby, event space, restaurant and over three hundred guest rooms. Each space in the hotel was inspired by a different product from Gorham Silver Manufacturing Company, a staple of Providence's history.

What makes you passionate about design?

What makes me so passionate about interior design is the ability to tell a story and evoke feelings through the overall atmosphere of the space.  I have experienced a handful of spaces that gave me such a memorable and magical feeling when I walked into them and I strive to recreate those feelings in my designs.
