I am a Southern California based Interior Designer with 10 years of experience in both residential and hospitality projects. Over the past few years I have developed an interest in details and construction. This passion has beed fueled by working on projects that generally start as a gut renovation and finish off with fine details such as bedding stitching. I have participated in all levels of design process from 3D modeling to on site supervision over the years and really enjoy the entire process. I am currently working for myself but I am looking for a fast paced environment where I can be of an asset.
