What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative role at a dynamic design firm where I can lead FF&E and interior/architectural projects, mentor teams, and deliver client-focused, innovative solutions while growing professionally.

I am a senior interior and architectural designer with over nine years of experience delivering FF&E, healthcare, assisted living and hospitality projects. I combine strong technical skills in AutoCAD, 3ds Max and Photoshop with a systems-thinking approach to solve complex design challenges.

I have led conceptual development, created detailed 2D/3D drawings, and produced high-quality renderings and presentations that align with client vision and project requirements. My work has resulted in client satisfaction and repeat business across diverse markets.

In hands-on roles I have coordinated with installation and technical teams, developed FF&E standards, operated CNC equipment, and produced custom furniture and millwork solutions. I also have experience teaching interior architecture and mentoring students in design principles and software use.

I seek to contribute to a dynamic design firm where I can apply my collaborative mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and creative attention to detail to produce functional, beautiful built environments.
