As a certified designer with 19 years of experience in architectural ground up, and commercial and residential interiors, I can offer a broad array of skills and value to your company. Most recently, I worked on a new branding and interior design concept for TriCounties Bank in Central California, providing a full Tenant Improvement Package at the Schematic Design Phase.
I recently have worked on programs for Lululemon, Cracker Barrel, and CottonOn among others. My responsibilities include Space Planning, Design Conceptualization, Material and Finish selections for each project, Graphic Design development for Branding, Lighting Design and Presentation Layouts. I also coordinate production drawings for quality control and consistency.
I also bring to the table strong computer proficiencies in Autocad, Photoshop, InDesign and Microsoft Office Suite. I am also proficient in Sketchup and have recently completed Revit training. Please see the accompanying resume for details of my experience and education.
I am confident that I can contribute strong design and enthusiasm to your team. Feel free to call me at 310-367-7269 to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time—I look forward to learning more about your company.
