I am a graduate of Columbia College in Chicago with a BFA in Interior Architectural Design. I am interested in working in all phases of design, space planning, sustainable design, and eventually becoming LEED certified.
I am a very hard working, dedicated person that loves design challenges. I enjoy working through all phases of design to create a space that blows the client away. I am all about variety in project types so I can expand my knowledge and design abilities. I am looking to gain more experience and learn more about this field.
If you are interested and want me to send you my resume and some work samples, email me at kohlercihock@yahoo.com
