PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I am an interior designer with a strong commitment to continuous experimentation and skill enhancement. My journey in design has been fueled by a passion for exploring innovative approaches that resonate with diverse audiences. I thrive in dynamic environments where collaboration and varied perspectives inspire my creativity. Embracing a curious and open-minded mindset, I actively pursue opportunities for learning and growth, ensuring my work remains relevant and impactful in a constantly changing landscape.
Currently, I serve as a Sales Support Designer at Casa Bella Home and Living, where I assist clients by collaborating closely with architects and interior designers. My role involves conducting site visits and preparing detailed furniture proposals that include swatches, renderings, visual aids, and design plans tailored to meet client needs. My experience also includes managing showroom orders and enhancing product presentation through effective merchandising strategies.
Previously, I worked as a Sales & Design Associate at Thomas & George Fine Furniture Inc., where I handled client inquiries and provided customized furniture solutions. My internship at CMV Interior Design allowed me to develop essential skills in space planning and design execution. I am proud of my academic achievements, including being a Dean’s Lister at SoFA Design Institute, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Interior Design.
