What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead end-to-end interior design projects, collaborate cross-functionally, manage construction delivery, and drive high-quality, client-focused results.

I am a Senior Interior Designer and Project Manager with extensive experience delivering commercial and residential renovations across Vancouver and Italy. I lead projects from concept through construction, producing permit-ready drawings, specifications, schedules and managing consultants and trades to ensure quality and timely delivery.

My background includes senior creative leadership roles, large multi-location restaurant and retail rollouts, office relocations and complex hospitality fit-outs. I am fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese and consistently produce functional, code-compliant designs that meet client goals and budget constraints.
