I am an NCIDQ-certified commercial interior designer with over fourteen years of practical experience. I've been active in all phases of design, from programming to construction administration. I have a strong understanding of professional office practices and procedures as well as interpersonal and organizational skills. My favorite phase of design is construction administration, as I enjoy working with the contractor to find practical solutions to challenges in the field. I also love the process of seeing the project we've designed in construction.
