I n t e r i o r D e s i g n
Interior Designer with over 6 years of experience in residential and commercial projects, specializing in interior design both in person and online. Skilled in renovations, custom woodwork designs, project management, design concepts, window treatments, 3D renderings, and vendor coordination.
I am passionate about my profession, which led me to earn an American degree in Interior Design from NYIAD. Additionally, I obtained the RIDQC certification and became a member of the American Society of Designers (DSA).
I aim to create aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and functional spaces that improve the quality of life at home and work. I am curious, enjoy learning from new experiences, and always seek new things in my field. Experience
