About 

.   I am an interior designer with extensive experience in working on a large variety or residential and commercial projects. 

I earned BFA in Interior Design from Fashion Institute of Technology in New York .   I also obtained A.A. in Architectural Academy of St. Peterburg in Russia.   Since my early years, I obtained comprehensive education in fine arts.

My strongest skills are hand sketching, rendering, space planning (auto CAD), color scheme selection, fabrics and materials knowledge and selection, and custom design solutions.  In addition, I am a good team worker and hope to continue collaborating with other professionals on new and exciting design projects.  I am convinced that I could aid your company with my enthusiasm, creativity, and rich experience.
