What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in project management and interior design while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

As an experienced interior decorator and project manager, I have successfully run my own business since 2016, specializing in creating beautiful and functional spaces for my clients. My expertise lies in coordinating projects from conception to completion, ensuring that every detail is meticulously planned and executed. I pride myself on my ability to connect with clients, understanding their needs and preferences, which has been key to my success in this industry.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in project management, marketing, and client relations. I have a proven track record of managing contractors, timelines, and budgets effectively, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within scope. My background as an executive PA has equipped me with strong organizational skills and attention to detail, which I apply to every project I undertake. I am passionate about continuous learning and development, always seeking to enhance my skills and knowledge in interior design and project management.
