Work Experiences:
2012-Current:: Matt's Designs, Somers, NY
I served as head designer and general contractor, I started my own design company building and renovating homes. I did everything from renovations to additions. Each client presented a budget to which I tried to keep as strict as possible. I did everything from managing subcontractors to picking out final fnishes. I also designed and built miniature scale models of each home by hand, including landscaping, scale model cars and other accessories for the models. Each model comes with a distinct design and furniture. I was featured in May 2016 American Miniaturist Magazine “A Farmhouse with Style”, March 2017 “Shaking Up Shaker”, and October 2018 “Modern Redux”. All featured the exterior and interior of each home..
