My background is in Interior Design, retail sales, and administrative as well a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design and Technical Sales provides me with a well rounded set of skills and knowledge that will be a great addition to any design team. I work very well individually as well as in a team environment.
I love being an interior designer. It allows me to be creative and innovative everyday and allows me to help people in a different way. I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I complete a project. I create something they wouldn't have thought to do for themselves and brought new light to an old home or office, a new construction project, etc. Everyday as an interior designer is new, different and exciting and I love it!
