INTERIOR DESIGNER-PROJECT MANAGER
Dynamic Interior Design Consultant 21+ Years Experience in Project Management and Construction Science Management
As a seasoned Interior Design Consultant and Project Manager, my primary focus and concentration is to give owners and clients more effective control of complex construction. By delivering high quality finished products within both deadlines and budgets, I am able to provide my clients with a superior design experience. My professional philosophy is to approach each project as the “Owner’s Representative”, freeing them from the details of contracting, site supervision, problem solving, and any logistical issues that may arise. In doing so, the client is able to maintain focus on the finished product, completely assured of an expedient and stress-free experience.
With a keen eye for detail, as well as sound judgment and critical thinking skills, I have managed numerous large scale projects such as the complete renovation of the bathrooms and suites for the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami, Florida, producing superb results. Additionally, my outstanding interpersonal skills have led to a strong and lasting network of business relationships, and earned me a reputation for excellence, dedication, and commitment to quality service and performance.
If you are in need of a vibrant and highly motivated Interior Design Consultant and Project Manager who believes in advocating for the customer experience, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
