Education
Art Institute of Pittsburgh, 2007-2010 Bachelor of Science-Interior Design Academy of Art University, 2011 - 2015 Master of Fine Art - Interior Architecture & Design After a career of more than 30 years, I decided in 2007 to return to College to finish my undergraduate work, started after High School. In great health, a clear mind and a strong desire to prepare myself going into the future, after the age of 50, I enrolled in the online Bachelors of Science program of Interior Design, at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I graduated from the four year degree program, in December of 2010. The following Spring of 2011, I enrolled at the Academy of Art University, ( online) Master of Fine Arts degree program majoring in Interior Architecture and Design where I graduated in the Summer of 2015. Both degrees underscore and validate academically the complete nature of my professional career as accomplished in the business of Architectural and Interior Design. As an important feature of my education and experience is my natural Artistic ability that manifests itself in almost all media, with marketable techniques in hand drawing, sketching, illustration, drafting, the creation of large format murals and of course computer drafting and 3-D renderings.
