About 

Working for our family interior design firm since graduation has offered me an invaluable advantage as I was lucky enough to be involved in all aspects of the business. I have gained significant experience in both the commercial as well as the technical aspects of the industry which have sharpened my skills and rendered me better able to meet the needs of my clients.

I began working as an assistant interior designer and made my way up to my current senior position where I am responsible for undertaking commercial and residential projects from concept to completion. As a young member at the company, I was able to bring fresh and new ideas to the projects I was involved with. As a good team player who is open to working in a fast paced environment with demanding deadlines, I can quickly transform clients’ needs into practical conceptual designs, work out relevant costs and prepare estimates. Additionally, my excellent communication skills allow me to form long- standing relationships with clients and suppliers alike.
