My work ranges from high end residential to hospitality. I start with concept/schematic design through FFE/material selection, contract documents and installation. I am a high energy communicator with the ability to coordinate with vendors and consultants (architect, lighting, MEP, kitchen, audio visual) on a daily basis. I touch base on all FFE/materials as well as custom designs to have a cohesive design aesthetic brand identity. I look at design through a holistic approach where all aspects (architecture, FFE, brand, lighting etc) come together as one finished product. I am an on-site construction/installation manager with quick reactions and problem solving abilities to keep the project continuing on a budget and scheduled timeline. I believe my experience is unique because I have worked on both interior architecture and FFE that allows a complete understanding while focusing on concept/brand.
