What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that leverages my interior architecture and AutoCAD skills with client-facing sales experience, in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am an interior architect with hands-on experience in sales, customer service and project planning, combining design knowledge with strong client-facing abilities.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Architecture and have produced AutoCAD 2D drafts and detailed plans for clients while working in retail and ceramics sales.

My background includes teaching refugees, internships in the design sector, and roles managing high volumes of customer interactions, negotiations, and phone-based client support.

I am self-motivated, sociable and organized, and I seek roles where I can apply design skills, client negotiation experience and technical drafting abilities to create functional interior solutions.
