Pursuing her passion for design of the built environment, Lara earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture and Design and a Masters of Architecture from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco. She has experience in hospitality, retail, and residential projects. She aims to design spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, universal, and functional.
