About 

With 20 years experience in both luxury architectural design in southern California as well as hospitality interior design works throughout Asia I have a passion for design styles of all kinds. These days I tend to lean towards interior design but I feel my knowledge in architecture is a great asset for my interior design side of the profession. The last four years have been spent in Barcelona flipping properties and now I have returned stateside to seek a designer position in the industry.
