I coordinate residential design procurement, vendor logistics, and polished client installations.

I'm currently supporting residential design projects at Northside Design Collective, where I manage purchasing, vendor coordination, proposals, orders, deliveries, installations, and photoshoots.

I prepare and review proposals in Studio Designer, track orders through delivery, resolve vendor claims, and maintain accurate product, sample, inventory, and project records.

Previously at Sterling Transitions and W/Compliments, I coordinated residential transitions, sourcing, procurement, product presentations, virtual mock-ups, inventory, and client logistics across concurrent projects.

My background also includes high-volume reservations and event coordination at Brewery Bhavana, where I balanced time-sensitive requests, logistics, and client service.
