What I'm looking for

I seek client-focused roles in kitchen or interior design where I can apply hands-on design, vendor negotiation, and operational coordination to improve customer outcomes and operational efficiency.

I am a military veteran and multifaceted professional with experience in kitchen design, retail operations, and administrative support. I design custom kitchen layouts, create 3D renderings and detailed floor plans, and collaborate with clients to meet aesthetics, functionality, and budget goals.

In retail roles I improved customer satisfaction and supported store operations—helping drive year-over-year sales growth, coordinating installers and deliveries with a 97% success rate, and reducing material costs by up to 15% through vendor negotiations. I maintain organized digital and paper filing systems and handle multi-line phone systems and data entry with strong attention to detail.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, prioritize tasks effectively, and communicate clearly with diverse teams and stakeholders. I bring disciplined project coordination and a service-oriented mindset gained from military training and hands-on design experience.
