My career in interior design has spanned 15 years in various aspects of design - corporate offices and tenant improvements, retail, healthcare, and hospitality. My experience throughout my projects included client programming, coordinating plans for the efficient function for the designated space, coordinating the infrastructure for the use the space in association with the furniture, furniture procurement, team support, and project management. These also included the selection and placement of furniture, fixtures and equipment per the needs of our client and the function of their space.
I have excellent organizational skills and I am known as the “go to person” when someone needs something done thoroughly and in a timely manner.
Collaboration and clear communication between all project participants is critical to producing a successful end result and maintaining a happy client.
