An accomplished, professional & talented designer experienced in design development & project management; strong AutoCAD & sketching abilities.
I am a creative, resourceful person and an excellent communicator. I enjoy taking a fresh approach to my work and relish the challenge of generating innovative ideas and taking them through the design phase to a completed project.
I have a fantastic eye for detail and a methodical approach which, combined with my creative background, is the perfect mix for a well-planned and beautiful end product.
My ability to run abusy showroom on a day-to-day basis, maintain a professional attitude and work under extremely tight deadlines as a designer demonstrates a unique combination of skills.
