I am a motivated Designer and Project Manager with experience in residential, retail, commercial and hospitality projects. I can engage in client relationships, form budgets and assist in the selection of FF&E, consultants, contractors and vendors. I have strong management and problem solving capabilities and enjoy being out in the field overseeing construction and installs. A team player that loves learning just as much as helping others grow, I am highly organized, timely, and know how to work hard to get things done. Working both in Italy and in New York has opened my eyes to a variety of styles and ways of working and developing projects, which can make me a strong addition to any team.
