At IKEA, I translated customer insight and commercial priorities into functional, brand-consistent store environments. As Communication & Interior Design Manager, I led the store design and communication team and partnered with senior leadership on strategy, layouts, budgets, and annual plans.

As Interior Designer & Revit Superuser, I designed customer-focused interiors and supported showroom and remodel projects from planning through implementation. At CLOSET FACTORY, I guide clients through custom designs for closets, pantries, offices, and entertainment spaces, balancing their needs with function, aesthetics, and budget.
