flickfolks – Crew/ Talent/ Projects/ Gear/ Jobs

I am a current student of Interior Design and Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, MI, and a graduate of the University of Michigan with a B.A. in American Culture and Anthropology. My studies in both the Humanities and Design fields reflect my passion for culture and its impact on people, and are well-suited to Made Modern’s subject matter of “interesting modern homes and their fascinating owners.” I would be very interested in work as a Crew Member for the show, as media content is also among my top interests. I have experience in manual labor and assistant positions, involving working as part a team as well as independently and taking direction.
