I'm a freelance interior designer in Chicago, Illinois who specializes in residential and commercial spaces.
Here are some rules I live by: A map is great piece of decor (as is a potted plant). Vintage leather is a must, even in the smallest form. If you can afford to wallpaper a room or wall, you should do it.
I can offer the following services to you or your company:
- Project management
- Furniture & finish selection, management and staging
- Space planning
- Construction document preparation
- 2D/3D renderings
I hold an Associates degree in Interior Design from Parsons the New School for Design in December and earned a dual bachelors of arts degree in Communications and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2007. I’ve worked for various communications firms specializing in marketing, public relations, web design and development, and project management.
In my free time, I enjoy honing my photography skills, practicing Bikram yoga and exploring the multitude of restaurants and bars in my lovely neighborhood.
