Hi, I'm Genevieve!
I am detail-oriented and have strong conceptual skills. My technical expertise has progressed throughout my schooling and internships which would make me a valuable part of any team. I am well organized and great at strategic planning. I seek to design spaces that are fresh, accessible, and practical. I believe design should combine functionality and accessibility with aesthetically pleasing elements.
My experience at UMass Dartmouth has had lasting transformations on my life. The Interior Architecture and Design BS program has prepared me for a career as an interior designer. I have learned contemporary design techniques, developed a well-rounded background in the field and have pursued internships opportunities. This has allowed me to develop the necessary skills to feel confident and capable to take on any challenge with a positive attitude and great support system.
