About 

I have a keen sense of design and I can add to your company with my strong dedication to each project regardless of scale. I am a strong team leader who always thinks outside the box. Experience has given me a great sense for time management allowing me to successfully handle multiple projects and teams concurrently. I am always enthusiastic, anticipate problems ahead of time, reflect on past experience and ask the right questions to solve the problems creatively. Meeting each client dreams while marrying beauty, function and cost is my purpose for each project.
