In 2013, from my role as a highly experienced and valued project manager in the film and television industry in Los Angeles, I made the exciting career change into interior design. In this field, I have been able to apply my experience as well as my passion for color, composition, and story telling to create positive experiences that affect peoples’ daily lives. I am enthusiastically hands-on, I love creating beautiful spaces, and I am a problem solver by nature. I have 8 years of experience in designing, specifying, drafting, coordination with contractors, FF&E ordering, and installation for commercial and residential projects, as well as 17 years of experience in client relations, budget management, accounting, and creative problem solving in an artistic environment.
