I am an interior designer who has experience in both high-end residential and commercial interiors.  In residential interiors, I am experienced at taking site measurements, digitally and hand drafting plans and elevations, space planning and furniture layouts.  Not only have I managed projects and worked closely with the principal of the design firm on specifying interior architectural details, flooring, wall coverings, furnishings, soft and hard materials, and color schemes, but I also have made solo presentations to clients, obtained estimates from contractors and workrooms and worked on-site during installations.  I have worked on the Kips Bay show house in 2011 and on the 2012 Morristown and Saddle River showhouses in New Jersey.  Other residential projects I've worked on include a Forest Hills, NY home, a senior residence clubhouse lobby, Hamptons new construction and the official residence of a college president.  I am familiar with sources for fabrics, furniture and antiques and excel at sourcing unique pieces.  I enjoy client interaction and collaborating with craftspeople.  I am comfortable organizing and processing complex projects that involve a lot of moving parts and details.  In commercial interiors I have drafted and negotiated contracts, specified office furnishings, devised color schemes, created presentation boards and developed furniture budgets.  I have worked on two completed projects:  an LA-based media agency office and a Soho-based "Sillicon Alley" internet start-up's offices.  I'm on the board of directors of Manitoga/Russel Wright Design Center, and have a personal interest in freehand drawing, mid-century modern design and health care design research.
