What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead concept-to-completion interior design work—especially high-end residential and hospitality—coordinating consultants and vendors, owning design documentation, and delivering commercially minded, client-ready outcomes on time and within budget.

I’m a Senior Interior Designer with progressive experience leading high-end residential and hospitality projects from concept through completion. I direct space planning, FF&E specification, and material selection while producing CAD drawings, mood boards, and installation layouts to support accurate delivery.

I coordinate multidisciplinary consultants and vendors, serving as the primary client-facing point of contact and aligning design vision with execution timelines and budgets. Across concurrent work, I guide junior designers and interns, translating briefs into commercially minded, studio-standard outcomes.
