I am a talented Estimator/ Project Manager with a strong background in Furniture/Interior Design skills and a strong creative flair. I am experienced in carrying out a wide variety of design and development projects. As well as the ability to conceptualize new custom ideas as needed.
For the past 4+ years I have been involved in planning, designing and producing custom luxury indoor and outdoor furniture for a wide base of clients across America and beyond from residential to hospitality and commercial clients. I have also had my hand in a few high end residential interior design projects. Along with the design I did all estimating and project management duties with each custom project.
I am skilled at directing all aspects of the custom furniture process from meeting with the client to conceptualizing the perfect design for the client. As well as making that custom design a reality from purchasing the materials to overseeing that the furniture piece(s) are build according to specification. I also offer skills in management, budgeting, project management, design presentations, proposals and client relations.
My training and experience includes Auto-CAD, Sketch-up, and Illustrator. I am also knowledgeable and proficient of a variety of other programs such as Microsoft office suite, 3D Studio Max, and Photoshop. Throughout the last few years I have learned a lot about the standard of design I strive to give my clients. My design experience paired with my customer service/sales experience has made me realize with high end clients it isn't just about the design.. it about the whole process.. the experience.
