What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that combines my design expertise with analytical skills, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am an Architect and Interior Designer with over 10 years of experience in project management, collaboration, and problem-solving. My journey has recently taken a turn towards Business Analytics, where I combine my business degree with training in statistical analysis, data exploration, and visualization. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my design expertise and analytical tools to drive insights, optimize operations, and support strategic decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led the design and execution of over 50 residential projects, ensuring client satisfaction through tailored solutions that maximize space utilization. My role as Design and Operation Lead at Snap allowed me to manage a team of interior designers, enhancing design quality and client communication, which resulted in repeat business. I am passionate about mentoring others and continuously improving processes to adapt to changing market demands.

With a strong foundation in architecture and a growing skill set in business analytics, I am eager to contribute to innovative projects that require a blend of creativity and analytical thinking. I am committed to delivering high-quality outcomes and fostering collaboration across teams to achieve project goals.
