As an interior/architectural designer and project manager having worked for over 10 years in the New York City, Long Island, and Connecticut markets, I have gained a wide range of knowledge and experience in all areas of the high-end residential industry. While my education is rooted in interiors and architecture, my experience and passion has been in construction and restoration projects. I possess strong project management skills and enjoy being part of a motivated team. Although design often takes place at our desks, I prefer to be out on site actively involved in seeing vision turn into reality.
