Profile:
I am a Designer and Project Professional with nine years of Architectural, real estate development, and construction industry experience. I have contributed to projects in California, New York, Oregon, and Washington states. My projects range from custom single-family homes, large multi-family developments, corporate interiors, high-end retail interiors, and residential and commercial towers. I have worked with a wide variety of clients: international brands, real estate developers, corporate firms, department stores, homeowners, industrial, and small business owners. I have independently brought projects from the conceptual stage through to completion. I enjoy the craft of the design process and adapt well to collaborative and changing situations.
