Hello, my name is Ana, I am an Architectural Interior Designer who graduated from the Interior Design program at The Art Institute of California-San Francisco. As an Interior Architectural Designer I generated design concepts and organized the development of presentations as well as created architectural plans, prepared detail plans and selected all FF&E for our Hospitality (Hotel) projects. As a Designer, I designed, chose materials and supervised all aspects of the renovation design process in conjunction with working with contractors. As a Kitchen/Bath Design Sales Specialist, I employed my Interior Design and product knowledge to create Kitchen and Bath designs with products available through Lowe's. As a Stager/Interior Design Consultant, I provided in-home Design Consultation and detailed Staging Analysis Report and expedite home improvement projects. As an Interior Designer in Marmara Development Group and Hafco & Harouni, I collaborated with Structural and Civil Engineers on projects, designed and re-designed luxury residential spaces and initiated Revit and CAD intermix in modeling and design of projects. As a Sales Design Consultant at Living Spaces, I consulted with clients at the store and designed spaces using furnishings available based on dimensions and floor plans. As an Office Manager/Designer, I interfaced with clients/contractors, designed and handled administrative duties. As an Interior Sales Designer at Closet World, I consulted clients at their home following a lead, measured and designed for different rooms of the home, including offices and closets, and did presentation of design, price and product choices.
I have completed projects mostly using AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max, Sketch Up, and Photoshop/Illustrator.
