About 

I have just completed my Interior Design Associate Degree in FIDM / Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. While I have a comprehensive interior and set decorating background, my emphasis is on residential and commercial designs. I feel that your firm places prominence in similar areas and giving me the opportunity to work for you will give me that further exposure I need to advance my career. 

After completing a diploma in interior design in KLC School of Design in London, I have designed multiple residential houses as well as a commercial offices. As I wanted to further study and enhance my knowledge in the field of interior, I joined FIDM School to fulfill a professional designation degree in interior design. Since then, I have interned in a high end interior design firm as well as volunteered as set decorator for SDSA and TMG events. In these positions, I have successfully exceeded the company and customer expectations.
