I am a Certified and Licensed Interior Designer with over 15 years of experience. My focus has been on Multi Family Housing and Student Housing, however I have experience with Tenant Fit Outs, Fire Stations, Senior Living, and more. My experience has not only given me strong communication skills with the client, but full coordination skills between all consultants and the ability to efficiently manage large projects from beginning to end. I feel space planning and design development are the most important aspects of any project to ensure the space will not only function well but that the clients overall vision will come to fruition. My extensive knowledge of building and ADA codes, construction techniques, and material pricing, make the design development process seamless as each option presented is a realistic approach to the clients vision.
Whether you are looking for a consultant to review existing plans and provide feedback, looking for someone to refresh an existing space or looking for someone to design your next project start to finish, I can help.
