I am an aesthetically inclined designer with a strong passion and appreciation for modern designs. I enjoy the challenges of leading project concepts. I have experience in space planning, supervising construction drawings, interacting with contractors, selecting furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), and managing client interactions. I have worked on residential and commercial projects, demonstrating the ability to deliver concepts that align with both the client's and the company's visions. I can quickly understand design problems and develop viable solutions.
