As a seasoned professional with a rich background encompassing production, international trade, client management, business planning, consulting, and operations, my journey in design is deeply rooted in a passion for creating spaces that resonate with well-being and beauty. My technical expertise, sharpened through an MFA in Interior Design from Parsons School of Design, complements my practical experience, allowing me to bring a comprehensive and nuanced approach to each project.
My career has predominantly been in residential design, where I've developed a keen ability to create personalized, impactful spaces that reflect the unique needs and aspirations of each client. This experience has been enriched by my work in diverse cultural settings, including notable roles at firms like Pablo Rodriguez Design, Sofia Aspe Interiorismo in Mexico, and Drake/Anderson in New York, providing me with a broad perspective on global design trends and an understanding of different design environments.
While my heart remains with residential design, I am also open to exploring opportunities in commercial and hospitality projects. I believe that my diverse skill set and experiences make me uniquely suited to these areas, enabling me to bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to a wider array of design challenges.
My goal is to continue creating environments that are not only aesthetically appealing but also embody functionality, comfort, and a profound sense of well-being, regardless of the project scale or nature.
