What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead commercial interior design and project delivery—building accurate CAD plans, proposals, and stakeholder communication in a collaborative, deadline-driven team that values design quality and continuous improvement.

I’m a Senior Interior Designer with deep, hands-on experience delivering commercial interior design projects from early space planning through detailed drawings, specifications, and client-ready presentation materials. I’m known for staying organized across multiple simultaneous deliverables while keeping quality and deadlines front and center.

Across my roles, I’ve developed space plans, test fits, and furniture layouts, and produced construction drawings using AutoCAD and related design tools. I also support proposals and bid packages, maintain accurate project files, and collaborate proactively with sales reps and project teams—often across time zones.

Beyond design execution, I’ve led teams and managed operational delivery through weekly business reviews and daily coaching. I’ve also handled customer complaints and survey-related improvements, bringing a structured, service-focused mindset to every engagement.

My background also includes international contract exposure and financing-related mechanics (SBA lending, seller financing, DSCR mechanics, and LOI terms). I’m motivated to work with a team that values clear communication, practical design decisions aligned to budgets and timelines, and continuous improvement.
