ABOUT ME

I currently work as a Senior Interior Designer and Architectural Project Manager specializing in Hospitality, Commercial, Retail, Healthcare and high-end Residential Projects.
I hold a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Architecture and have 10 years of broad experience working in the Architecture and Interior Design industry in New York City with projects nationwide.
Developing Branded Environments and Narrative Spaces combining traditional architectural methods and new technologies is my passion. I have detailed experience in all stages of multiple projects including Design Concept, Schematic Design, Design Development, Budgeting to preparation of full sets of Construction Documents, Construction Supervision and complete Specifications as well as custom furniture and lighting design.
My design work has been published in Hospitality Design Magazine, Boutique Design Magazine and EFA Environments for the Aging.
My approach to successful coordination of projects is based on clear and efficient communication with all project team members to ensure on-time project delivery and client satisfaction. My extensive background in spatial planning, CAD, 3D modeling and rendering, hand drafting and graphic design channels into my fresh and always curious approach to new projects. I love to solve creative problems and experimenting with new ideas on a variety of platforms. Original thinking, and independent initiative are part of who I am and how I work. I am highly organized and always motivated for new challenges.
I am an accredited LEED AP BD+C for Building Design and Construction as well as an Associate AIA member working towards licensure and ASID member.
