My experience in marketing and business development, problem solving and strategic thinking is an infinite asset. I am able to build and guide top-performing teams and function as a technical resource for codes, documentation, construction practices, scheduling and budget management. Adept at communication with client, contractors, consultants and internal departments to ensure the design translates client needs and wants into creative, effective and efficient design solution.
