I am a designer with a passion for interiors, custom furniture and gorgeous lighting. My background is in residential design, and I would also sincerely enjoy working in restaurant design and hospitality. I am currently a designer for Restoration Hardware West Hollywood, responsible for large-scale customized interior design for VIP and international clients. Since 2013, I have designed homes in Jeddah, Riyadh, Sydney, Dubai, Oxford, London, Toronto, Valle de Bravo. 2010 brought the opportunity to work as the designer for the Heineken Music Lounge of the Esquire Magazine House. The first photo of my portfolio features this Esquire design work. I have also worked on several remodels, both small and large in Pacific Palisades, California. Early in my career, I worked for Portabella Design, a custom furniture and design boutique in Brentwood, with the most discerning clientele. Along with my design work, the staging company I had co-founded was successful in securing new clientele. My experience in working with clients is well-honed, and I am a calm, creative problem solver. To become part of a highly skilled, energetic design team is my goal.
