I am a professional interior designer with more than 15 years of experience in the

field. My professional portfolio includes a wide range of residential and commercial projects, encompassing modern condominiums, private residences, restaurants, mall atria, casinos, an indoor water park, and offices. My involvement in these projects ranged from original architectural drawings, working with a client on conceptual interior and exterior design development, drafting of design drawings and 3D visualization, and administering implementation of the developed designs. Throughout the design process, I was developing original design objects such as furniture, interior decor and art. My passion is interior design and architecture. I am always excited to learn and grow professionally. I recently moved to the USA from Ukraine and received employment authorization. I am also actively working on improving my English.
