What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to innovative, functional interior design projects where I can develop design presentations and construction documentation, collaborate with clients and consultants, and continue growing my BIM and project coordination skills.

I'm an interior designer who develops functional design solutions, presentations, construction documents, and specifications using BIM tools.

At Huckabee Architects, I collaborated with project teams, clients, and consultants throughout project phases, supported quality assurance and interior architectural detailing, and represented the firm in client meetings and design presentations.

At HNI Corporation, I created floor plans, renderings, and construction documents for customer projects while improving spec guide usability and streamlining processes with CET Designer and Salesforce.

My construction experience at EHR Construction strengthened my ability to coordinate suppliers, vendors, and clients, optimize material budgets, and use AutoCAD to calculate construction material requirements. I earned a BFA in Interior Design from Purdue University with a minor in Building Information Modeling.
