INTRODUCTION I believe design is not only about making a space
visually pleasing but also designing it to be functional
while keeping budget in mind. Client interaction and
listening are important skills as part of the design process.
I use finish colors, textures, patterns and architectural
elements to aid in way finding and define public and private
areas. I am a team player, coordinating with architects,
engineers and equipment planners to design and produce a
cohesive space that flows from one area to another and is
comfortable for staff, clients and visitors. I am proficient
in Microstation, AutoCAD and Microsoft Office. I have
working knowledge of Photo Shop, Sketch up and Revit.
