What I'm looking for

I want to create standout interiors and experiential builds—translating concepts into detailed, well-coordinated installations. I’m excited to lead design thinking, manage fabrication-ready execution, and deliver installations that fit both brand and lifestyle needs.

I’m an architect with over 30 years of experience, specializing in interior design, stage and backdrop design, furniture design, store setups, and residential architecture. I’m known for creative concept development, with a strong handle on how ideas become buildable details through fabrication coordination and project oversight.

Across residential and commercial work, I’ve delivered architectural drafting and design development, interior layout and detailing, and material selection and space planning. I also bring hands-on experience from my co-owner and design years—covering fabrication supervision and project management, client presentations, and production coordination—so installations consistently meet creative intent and on-site reality.
