I am an ambitious and dynamic architect who has over 10 years of experience working on a diverse portfolio of projects including the design and construction of luxury retail, high-end residential, commercial and hotel projects.
I am currently a manager on the Ralph Lauren Store Development team responsible for designing, developing and managing the build out of RL projects globally. I have experience managing team members as well as being individually responsible for all aspects of a project’s completion from schematic design to turnover. In addition to my time with Ralph Lauren I co-founded a design firm that provides architectural services for residential, retail and commercial clients.
My attention to detail ensures that each project I work on is done accurately and to the highest possible standard. I possess impeccable technical skills with an advanced knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as well as Microsoft Office and Project. My written and verbal skills have defined me as a successful communicator with clients, consultants and team members.
