Experience

A full service interior design and high end residential and commercial finishing company we served clients providing highest quality faux finishes, Venetian Plaster, and large scale mural works nation wide. My duties as lead painter included developing samples and directing a crew thru application process. Working for clients such as the notorious Koch brothers in their historic San Francisco home our jobs can take as long as a full year, museum quality perfection being the objective.
ALIFE NEW YORK 2007-2008
Moving from San Francisco to New York I joined the team at ALIFE following my interist for apparel design and high fashion. I both managed their retail store located in the lower east side of Manhattan and assisted in the design studio on a creative level. Other responsibilities including quality control of manufactured product, and event coordination with collaborating brands.

Moving back to San Francisco bay area I was hired by Terra Amico as their lead finisher/sample producer/color expert. At Terra Amico I served clients such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Intuit and Yahoo providing custom interior and exterior furniture and office build-outs. With a 20 person in house carpentry department and 10 person metal shop there was, creatively speaking, nothing we could not build. Using a multitude of coatings and application techniques I operated in a clean room environment using high end H.V.L.P. and airless spray equipment to apply museum quality finishes to both metal and wood surfaces.
