I have 14 years experience in high end residential interior design. In my previous position I guided projects from initial client consultation through punch-list finalization, providing a through-line liaison between lead designer, client and contractor. I enjoy designing solutions to meet clients’ needs and seeing them through realization with the collaboration of contractors, consultants and colleagues.
